People Surprise You

I was hanging around with my friend Dan yesterday, just watching TV. A commercial for the new Harry Potter movie came. Then Dan told me that his Mom was going to go see that movie opening night. She was, he explained, a huge Harry Potter fan. She's read all the books and seen all the movies.

After hearing this, you could've knocked me over with a feather. I'd always lumped Dan's mom in with that group of "bourgeois Catholics" who think that reading Harry Potter will incite children to take up witchcraft. But I guess people really can surprise you.
