yes, the one about hagrid’s oversized dolphin feet.
You must ask yourselves…along with www.traditionalvalues.org
Is Harry Potter A Harmless Fantasy Or Wicca Training Program?
everything has a gateway…
but, what is worse… a really bad sentence and the craze of dolphin metaphors that will no doubt plague college writing like a pack of rabid orcas in 10 years… or wicca?
It’s a good question, what is worse? On the one hand, wicca, on the other, bad metaphors. Bad metaphors, I think, have been and will certainly be more prevalent than wicca ever will, Harry Potter notwithstanding. The dolphins remind me of Jonathan Franzen’s stinker in The Corrections (which I quote, badly, from memory, not from having the book at hand, though I looked and couldn’t find it), “It was discarded in the trash like a baby born in the bathroom at prom.”
Oh, and by the way, I started reading HP yesterday.
