peaseblossom and I were talking about this the other day. The Potter books are full of puns and wordplay and humor. They can be ratehr dark, but its sufficed with the humor of the world. Which makes it different from some other very, very similar children fantasy which don't try to be as humorous.

I could run a a school weird game (thought about it more than once), but I'm not sure it would be Harry Ptter. I'm not one for puns.
