In all fainess i think J.K. Rowling is a hack i mean I read some of the first book and the writing was fairly juvenile and derivative and ripped off of tolkien very badly in some obvious places. I think it's funny because I saw an interview with her on t.v. where she does even try to disguise that she ripped off tolkien heck she said she read those when she was a kid. the fact that she intirely plagiarised one of my favorite moments in the hobbit the one between bilbo and smaug the dragon in the first potter book told me this book belonged thrown in the trash.

What?

I'm a huge fan of the Hobbit and of the Harry Potter series and I have no idea what you're talking about.

As for Rowling's skills as a writer, she's a very good communicator, her world is logically coherent, and best of all she has a good sense of humor. Just what were you wanting exactly?

I do like how It incorreges listeracy in the young people of the world though especially children even though I find it to be lacking in most points as a piece of fiction. It incorreges young peope to dream and teaches them values myths etc yada, yada yada.


Good Lord. Are you even being serious, skyjedi?
