    Default No Transexuals in Harry Potter?

    Why are there no transexuals in Harry Potter? I began reading the first in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and realised after a few pages that JK Rowling had stolen, lifted, copied and basically ransacked a thousand years of parable, fairy story, myth and other people's books to concoct this Potter nonsense, but apparently no sexually ambiguous characters, or maybe I just didn't persevere with it being too busy doing important things. You would have thought having dumped everything else in Potter's peudo-world, she would at least have found time for men in frocks...in real fairy stories, gender ambiguity is often an important theme, try reading Peter Pan, for example....

    Ok so the actor Daniel Ratcliffe is brave in his own way, but apparently not this clever marketing phenomenon called Rowling....

    JK Rowling seems to be the UK equivalent of Dan Brown. Just read a lot of books and then create a gumbo of all their ideas, themes, stories, then apply some clever marketing and voila! 21st century 'novel'.

    Because the story doesn't require them, or the writer sees no need to include one? Geez, talk about obsession... despite being on this site, there are lots of things I can do without transsexuals on my mind.

    I think the directors were afraid they would use their "magic wands".
