Love your comments on "Horse and His Boy", btw. I really don't think even "The Last Battle" is as racist, hateful and deterministic as the Potter books.
Thank you, too! :) There's such a lack of kindness to the Potter series. And really, simple kindness can make such a difference. The way Aslan spoke to Prince Rabadash, for example: Aslan seemed to genuinely want to spare Rabadash the coming indignity. In comparison, Harry's warning to Voldemort that he needed to feel some remorse struck me more as a taunt than something springing from a deep well of compassion.
