• Death is a large form of entertainment, probably the largest. Watching death in different ways is entertaining for us, whether it's a high-speed chase and a guy grabs a helicopter and flies away.

• There was no Marshall Plan for Harry Potter, no International Financing Facility for books about underage wizards.
