I admire JK Rowling, I think what she has done for children's reading is astounding and her impact on literature will not be forgotten. Never have I seen a book recieved in such a manner, and in interviews I find her passionate, eloquent and very funny. I cannot, however, take much more Harry hype........... arrrrrrggggh!!!!!
its got kids reading en masse. its not a bad series either and i know for a fact that if i was 10 when the first book came out i would be really into it. fingers crossed the make the leap from rowling to phillip pullman then on to some serious fantasy novels
There's already a Harry Potter thread here http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36195 Feel free to discuss/slag it off over there
