Rowling sold her Soul to the devil so that her books were al least aggreable to anyone who ever read them, which is kinda smart becuase all you have to do is find a movie producer.... well then there is the whole not having your soul thing, but hey people keep doing it and keep entertaining me so I'm not gonna stop them. (as if I could) I don't see why but almost everyone I know has the "Harry Potter series really isn't all that bad." attitude and is usually translates into I love the series I can't get enough of it gimmie gimmie gimmie but are too ashamed to just say, I think somehow that's the case in relation to lots of fantasy, at least trying to convince virgin-fantasy readers to give some a try. I know as a kid I would have gotten something different from Steve's books just as I would have gotten something different from J.K. Rowlings, take that as you will.
