I concur. I love that they have to read Watership Down. I had to read it in high school too, and since I'd been reading Redwall for years, I didn't even blink, and wrote about, you know, courage, survival of the whatever, blah blah. But some guy in my class wrote that it was totally misogynistic and creepy and what, and I thought, omg he's right!. Haven't been able to look the book in the face ever since, so to speak.
Yeah. Prophecies. Possibly the reason I get a kind of twisted glee out of reading the rest of OOTP.
