Not really, I have perused the text (two copies in my house) and see the writing akin to video games and a tremendous waste of time when so much good literature is out there.
Again, thanks for the bump!
Well, thanks for admitting you have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, and for bumping the thread.
Well, at least with two copies in your house, you're not damaging Jo Rowling's Aston Martin Vantage fund.
Good literature isn't useful unless it's actually READ by kids. They have to have gotten some spark that causes them to WANT to read the good stuff. The Harry Potter stories may not be the BEST literature, but if they're a gateway to the good stuff, they're doing a great service!
Your post reminds me... I have to clean up the dog-doo in the yard this afternoon.
