Why, by the way, Sophia, would the films have resulted in the banning of the books when they weren't banned before?
I haven't been in for a long while, but I wanted to answer Lalaith's question, so:

I think that had the administrators of the school been aware of Tolkien they'd have banned the books. With all the publicity of the films, the administrators would certainly have been aware. There wasn't a "need" to ban them when nobody knew about them (except me, but I wasn't telling [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]).

This has gone real off topic guys [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] as good as the discussion is...
