From the "You Are Really Reading Too Much Into It" catagory, the New York Times gives us this wonderful diatribe on how Harry Potter reinforces the myths of neo-liberalism and the capitalist model.

Daniel Drezner should be credited with the link, and his "responses" to the article are also worth the read.

Fun stuff.
