Boo.
Ugh, I'm so upset at this article I was just linked to: Harry Potter fails to cast spell over Professor Richard Dawkins .

What do you do when two things that you love are at odds? Richard Dawkins has apparently resigned his post at Oxford, and is now devoting himself to researching the effect of fairy tales, Harry Potter in particular, on childrens' minds.

Richard Dawkins is...I guess I'd call him a personal hero. I often use his arguments when I'm talking religion or atheism with someone. I watch his youtube videos when I'm feeling down in order to cheer myself up. He's such a well-spoken and articulate man; I've always been proud to see him representing atheism. Honestly, judging by what I know of him, I wouldn't be surprised if this article was somewhat out of context, because he sounds just as bad as the religious nuts who think that Harry Potter is evil for the opposite reason. Still, it is rather upsetting to see two things that I love so much go head to head. I hope he at least reads the books during his scientific inquiry. He's gonna have a lot of time on his hands, after all.
