I was hoping I might contact the author and ask if we could republish this in the Inquiring Minds online newsletter at www.inquiringminds.org/newsletter If possible, please get back to me at your earliest convenience - our next issue is set to come out at the beginning of Fall and we hope to also publish a review of the latest Potter. As an aside, it took me some time to start reading the series but when I finally got around to it I was quite pleased with the sprinkles of skepticism and the use of logic to solve puzzles over paranormal tricks. I'm thinking Rowlings is very much one of us... but I may be wrong! ;) I so enjoyed reading this after a friend passed along the link.
