Heinlein and Rowling

Two things that do not go together, although I suspect Heinlein might have enjoyed those books.

I just finished rereading The Door Into Summer, which was the first Heinlein adult novel I'd ever read, and that at the age of eleven, thirty years ago.

I'll do the wizarding thing in another post, because this is long.

Rowling

Now for the Rowling stuff. And maybe this should be on hp_britglish, and maybe I'll put it there, but I want to talk about it here. I got a sort of heads-up about something I'd never actually considered seriously, and when I did, I got it wrong. I think.
