Souter, Wrede did a collection of short stories a few years ago called Book of Enchantments. There's an Enchanted Forest story in it involving the Frying Pan of Doom called "Utensile Strength".
Sinsull, it's all right for you not to enjoy the HP books. I've tried for years to enjoy Jane Austin to no avail. Enjoyment (or lack thereof) should not be a social obligation. Don't let them pressure you. *g* (for the record, I do happen to like them).
