Harry Potter isn't just for children and their parents.  It has officially made it into the hall of academia as well.  CNN correspondent Patrick Lee describes how the Potter-verse is being integrated into college classrooms across the country.  It seems there's no spell that J.K. Rowling can't conjure.  Read the complete story see CNN's site at:

I am a fan of Harry Potter! No, this does not mean that I dressed up in wizard robes and stayed awake until midnight to purchase each book. What is does mean is that I am a 30+ adult who thinks Potter books are wonderful stories. My 5 and 6 year olds agree (although I have chosen not to read past book 3 with them). Several of my coworkers ranging in ages from 25 to 65 have also enjoyed the books. I can only imagine the success of a college course that is able to integrate a literary phenomenon like Rowling’s Harry Potter. Bravo to the professor for her creativity and bravery.

Angela, thank you for your candor. I can say that I have dressed up in wizard robes on occasion and I have stayed up to midnight in order to buy books. HP has been a blast to me. I can't wait for the Universal Studios park to open.
