Harry Potter and the Royals

Great article by Rany over at BP in which he compares the Royals to characters in the Harry Potter series. Blissfully, you can read it for free.

This is one of those odd crossovers of geekiness that immensely appeal to me. I'm just mad that Rany thought of it before I did.

Fun Piece
I liked it.  Creative way to list the strengths and weaknesses on the team.

I've Never Cracked
A Potter book and may see one of the movies by happenstance, but that was analysis on a deeper level than most. He's probably not right about everything (A-Gor "The Boy That Sucked"?) but enjoyable on the whole.
Being a fan is irrational, but what is the alternative?
