I'm not dissing Rowling, but Pterry's writing just flows way better for me.
personally, i think rowling is anything but a good writer. the first line is of the entire series is 'Mr and Mrs Dursley...proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.' for bloody sake. harry is yet another poor little orphan, england magic, the hero wins in the end, virtue, yadayada. i know it's supposed to be a children's book, but that's not much of an... excuse, or whatever. it's not like it stopped lewis carroll, robert louis stevenson or j.m. barrie from making timeless, honest to god masterpieces, while harry potter is recognized almost solely for it's marketability records.
but that's just me. .________. *hides from rocks being thrown?*
