I love that you made a Connection to Harry Potter with H.G Wells

harry potter!
couldnt help but notice that the story of harry potter is very similar to H.G. Wells childhood.

- lives in the small "dismal" basement looking through a grate at the people
- hated normal society/ muggle world
- found solace in school/ magic
- won every award/ won the house cup
- takes it upon himself to save humanity from its evil fate/ voldemort

just want to note, i am not one of those crazed harry potter fanatic that relates everything to HP
but when they said he lived in the basement looking through the cracks at the people, thats the first thing i thought of and i couldnt help but make the comparison

I am so glad I found Hulu.com. I never got to see this show on cable anymore once A&E put it on it's own channel. I hope they run History Channel Documentries too-my favorite History channel show was History's Lost and Found. I wouldn't mind seeing more classic authors like Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allen Poe-or weird ones like H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.
