What a world, What a world!

Did anybody else like Harry Potter? I was late to the whole Potter thing as I only started watching near the end when they were all older and kissing and killing and what have you. Thats when it started being something that I could somewhat relate to. What I liked though was the whole way no one would say Voldemort's name, they just called him " He who shall not be named ". To me it just signified how he was just a bad mama jamma and you couldn't safely mention his name, cause he was always watching or listening. I don't think Voldemort was really sitting around magically listening to everyones conversations or reading every owls mail but clearly if you called him by name he would know. I always figured that if I were in the Wizarding World that I would probably still talk about him, I'd just call him Tom. Mama called him Tom, works for me.

Truthfully, as was the case with Harry Potter, this all feels very sinister to me. What are the rules? If there are rules, isn't that just kind of silly? Aren't we all adults, paying adults at that.
