"The best," replied Severus Snape.This article I found on Jill Ratzan's Facebook profile is some of the best news I've heard all week! The fact that there are others picking through the Potter texts for the subtle, more literary layers makes me squee and flail like a school girl! I just wish that I could have taken a class called Battling Against Voldemort 101 my freshman year. Oh well...

"News?" asked the taller of the two.

Thanks for the nod! Swarthmore, my undergrad school, has always been very 1)progressive and 2)in the approximate words of Snape, "not particularly concerned with following the rules."
I thought it would have been really awesome to have had a class in summer '07 that followed the HBP release in realtime - in particular it could have focused on the audience reaction, and what HP meant for libraries in different ways. But the MLIS program rejected it, and although M. from PDS thought it was a fabulous idea, her superiors rejected it too.
er, that would be "having a certain disregard for the rules" - as in, rules that say children's lit isn't an appropriate topic for scholarly study
Ugh. The number of times I was given looks for wanting to write children's literature in my creative writing classes at Rutgers during undergrad is ridiculous. I opted to not work on where I wanted to go as a writer because I feared it would detract from my grade. How ridiculous is that?
