Many long-time Daily Grail readers are probably aware that I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter books. But if you haven't read them yourself, perhaps you've wondered what I (and other adults) find so interesting about these 'children's books.' If so, here's a big part of the answer for you:
Egyptian Myths in Harry Potter -- original Mugglenet.com editorials by S.P. Sipal
Part 1: Harry of the Two Ways
Part 2: The Contendings of Harry and Voldemort
Part 3: Harry's Sacred Egyptian Triangle
Reading these essays may even provide some insight into my devotion to The Daily Grail. ;-)
Enjoy.
Loading time
You may notice that, even with broadband, it takes a few seconds for these essays to load. No doubt this is due to the fact that, as it says at the bottom of every Mugglenet.com page, 9,876 muggles are currently online there.
But if you're interested in Egyptian mythology, these essays are well worth a brief wait. Also of interest are the author's annotated links at the bottom of each essay.

Kat, you do know that in the last book, the really last one, not the one they sell you now, Harry ends up being a dental assistant?
Heard it here first, and we can share a part of the profits, ok ?
