The same Neil gaiman of "Sandman" fame? Why's he suing?
I for one will not be seeing the Harry Potter movie or reading the books.
Why not....well it's not-my-pint-of-beer so to speak, too close to
contemporary times (e.g. no original fantasy settings). The Lego HP sets
are bloody great, but the books just don't appeal to me so I won't waste my
money on them or the movie. Besides Lord Of The Rings dumps on HP from a
very high height indeed.
Hey, James....any room for one more in those flame proof pants?
