Ah, apparently Oprah watchers have high stress levels.

Now, the article also says:

"Harry Potter readers are less tense than Oprah lovers, according to the study, which coincided with the launch of Dwoskin's de-stress book The Sedona Method. Adults who said they are fond of the fictional character were 50% less likely to take medication to ease anxiety than Oprah fans."

OK, great, so Harry Potter contributes to emotional health?

Nope, just the opposite, they insist.

"Dwoskin believes the reason Harry Potter followers are less stressed could be that they avoid facing their problems head-on.

"'Some people who are into Harry Potter are into denial, into fantasy,' said Dwoskin."

Umm. OK. So because I like Harry Potter and I don't take Xanax, I'm maladjusted?

Mr. Hale Dwoskin, care to explain? What the hell?
