Potter porn
Culture Vulture notes a Times of India article which claims that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince contains pornographic double-entendres, including these particular favourites of mine:
‘You see?’ Dumbledore said quietly, holding his wand a little higher. Harry saw a fissure in the cliff into which dark water was swirling. ‘You will not object to getting a little wet?’ ‘No,’ said Harry. ‘Then take off your Invisibility Cloak… and let us take the plunge.’
Lupin burst out laughing. ‘Sometimes you remind me a lot of James. He called it my ‘furry little problem’…
Realistically, is there any book in the world that you couldn’t extract quotes from and put them in a completely different context? Well, perhaps the newly bought Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Perhaps more amusing still is one commenter’s observation on the Culture Vulture website:
hagrid had a giant mother and a human father, If you think that’s hard to fathom, be thankful Rowling didn’t make it the other way around.
Well, that had never occured to me before…

I do wonder about JK sometimes and whether she is trying to write a book with many levels of interpritation. But in reality, things that are written or spoken can often be construed in a different way, often with a double entendre.

“Harry could see Draco Malfoy banging his goblet on the table. It was a sickening sight”.

It seems to me that people such as yourselves, making rude remarks equal only to your level of intelligence, are merely jealous of the fact that you will NOT be spending the rest of your lives in the comfort that writing the seven greatest selling novels of all time brings. Oh well, what a shame. Also, if the greatest pastime you can come up with is trying to root through a children’s book to investigate alleged pornography, maybe the object of this discussion should be you?

I agree that this thread has gone downhill somewhat, but I don’t think I’m jealous… And, as a factual point, the Harry Potter books certainly aren’t the seven bestselling novels of all time – indeed, even Dan Brown’s lamentable Da Vinci Code has sold more copies than four of them.
And I don’t think the greatest pastime I can come up with is trying to root through anything to investigate alleged pornography – I was merely commenting on a Times of India article, in one of well over a thousand posts on this website… Some of which are, of course, collected together in my own book – it’s no Harry Potter, but it’s certainly sold more copies than I expected, and I’d be more than happy to make that the object of the discussion!
