Lower-middlebrows: Have read the books AND watched the movies. Deeply involved, and yet a bit confused. Don't remember too many details. Love Hermione, like they loved Dana Scully.
Middlebrows: Have pre-ordered the book. Have made plans to spend Friday night
Highbrows: Don't read Harry Potter. Claim that it is an insult to the fantasy genre. Wax eloquent about how it's a marketing gimmick, and how everyone has become a capitalist slave. In fact, they force the fact down everybody's throat that they don't endorse the franchise, or anything else. Visit the loo more than once during the movie.
*My guess: It's Sirius Black's Brother.

Does this tie in with your self-proclaimed lower-middlebrow status in an earlier post? It seems like the most pragmatic and desirable 'brow' status of the lot. :)
What about people who were lower-middlebrows, but have become somewhat indifferent owing to the time between book releases?
Or,his grand uncle?
@Harry, didn't know you were pottering around. :D
Those who have become indifferent are still lower-middlebrows, because they will get around to reading it sooner or later. :D
@anon, being sarcy?
Check the Black family tree :)
nt me to shower you with spoilers?
@Anon, I was right, and you were wrong.
@Vijayendra: Ha, this is the reason why I stayed off the internet last weekend.
