Pop over for tea with Annette in the Science Cave, and hear her amazing family history. She's
still getting criticism from her German family for not playing Davos Roulette with the Wuflu
potions. My health seems to be gradually but steadily improving. Each night, as I brush my
canines and molars with grapefruit-flavoured Bulgarian toothpaste and my chunky cut-price Star
Wars toothbrush, I listen to my slowly healing heart, pumping away, doing its thing.

Finish rereading Robin's copy of Dion Fortune's prewar book
'The Mystical Qabalah'. Despite the ugly
cover, a sensible and helpful introduction to Jewish kabbalism, as made use of by largely non-Jewish
occultists & mystics. An
interesting woman, Fortune has a clear, ordered mind. She
distinguishes between occultists, mystics, and psychics with a host of examples and precise
descriptions from the numbered tree of life. Got much more from the book this time.

Finish reading 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'
by Joanne Rowling. Although I read half the first book of the series in the 1990s, this was the
first time I had toiled all the way through a Harry Potter book. Filmmaker Jessica kindly lent
me her Kindle reading device so I could read this - the 5th in the series (in order to write an
article she also suggested). This was also only the second book I have read mediated through the
Orwellian Jeff Bezos Machine. Strangely pages kept skipping back and
forwards due to some electronic sensitivity. The novel itself felt odd too. I constantly had
the feeling I was reading a parody of a children's book. I must reread something like 'Bedknobs
and Broomsticks' or 'My Friend Mr Leakey' or the 'Mary Poppins' stories to see if I've
misremembered them as somehow more authentic or sincere than they really were.
Although the
attention to detail in constructing her world is charming, use of magic as a technology
constantly present in the Rowling characters' lives is a bit lazy. The awkward teenage love
attraction between Harry & the girl with long dark hair is sensitively & deftly treated.
The humour is well handled
in her wizarding boarding-school romances, but I found (as with the very first book I gave up
on halfway through) something heavy-handed, something cynical, even secretly resentful, about
the whole fantasy. Perhaps they even justify that word that puzzled me in
books I read as a child, when someone else gave someone an "arch look". I still don't really know
what that means, but just as my own wizard (my homeopath) sensed something curious about Rowling
herself, I sensed something subtly wrong with this and the first book. If the 1969
Scooby
Doo cartoon was a Californified version of Enid Blyton's 1930s
Famous Five and
Secret Seven adventures, shifted
into the era of psychedelic-van-driving beatnik kids,
Rowling's Potter stories likewise seem to be a conscious reworking of other, non-Blyton
prewar children's fiction.
Fiction of the Narnia / Just William era from back when servants
in large houses were natural, and better-off middle-class
children didn't think to be apologetic or cringing about there being a cook or a nanny at home.
Somehow, with great success and accomplishment, Rowling managed to invoke the romantic nostalgia
that's central to all children's fiction. She breathes new life into boarding-school stories, yet
somehow squares this with her and her readers' left-wing distaste at privilege and history. She
brilliantly manages to have her cake and eat it. There are servants and
crumbling historic buildings and eccentric traditions going back centuries, but she cleverly
gets around how wicked this all is in modern, left-wing, middle-class Britain by making it
flippantly magical. Much as in the Mary Poppins era, Rowling describes the children's personal
relationships with the servants, not the notion they come from different classes. The dislikeable
sneering toffs of the Slytherin house do a lot of Rowling's sanitation work for her. Using them
she can get away with presenting this as an anti-snobbish popular story about enjoying
attending an elite historic school.
The reason I read it was to do research on the magical-media campaign against Potter, the
"cancelling" which later happened to Joanne (or J. K.) Rowling herself over her fairly innocent
"transphobic" remarks about "people who menstruate" being a dishonest phrase for "women".
Sociology Ed's interesting remark about there having been a plagiarism case settled out of
court with the creator of an American boy magician in the 1980s called Larry Potter, including
some characters called Muggles, is still at the back of my mind. However, what really
makes me feel no urge to read any more of the Potter series is not that. Rather it's the eerie
sense that the tales emerge from the same ideology that is now attacking Rowling personally.
She is now a victim (as left-wingers and liberals are throughout history) of her own side's lust
for permanent upheaval. Of its recurring dream of destroying the past and erasing all common
sense. Yet Potter is a product both of that vandalistic movement and of the fondness for the
past it vandalises. The Potter books were a fabulous success because the desire to smash tradition
is cleverly reworked as its opposite to cover his creator's ideological tracks. Rowling profitably
exploited the class-flavoured nostalgia that gives the tales their cosy surface layer. Beneath
the surface of the narrative though I felt she hated that nostalgia, while artfully hiding her
hate.
