"jejune Manichaeanism",...(I looked it up) I can hardly wait till I can work this into a coversation with friends. If I can also work in "schadenfreude" and "denouement" into the conversation or philosophical statement it will be a really fun day.

Sorry, I'm one of those people that despises Harry Potter, Steven Spielberg and StarWars.

Why in the world so called adults are standing in line at midnight to buy and read a Harry Potter book is beyond me.

My wife and daughter were up at midnight to get this new one and the last one, in costume yet. Its a party, nearly all kids, not adults.

Because I really enjoy the books.

Your mileage may vary, and that's fine with me. You've probably got things you really like that are beyond me, too.

Reminds me of when in the early 80's, parents (mostly Moms) standing in long line at midnight to buy a Cabbage Patch doll. It's a fad...just a fad...

The denouement is the letdown you get after sex. Schadenfeude is your partner making fun of it.
