 Re: The failures of Harry potterIn the light of some long ago interviews, it is speculated to be a mystery novel. (I am not sure, but I think I read something about it being so) And if you can recall, what was the Potter series, but one huge mystery?
She planted clues and red herrings in each and every one of the books until the final one in which most of the clues added up and some of the big questions were answered. I think she would be superb as a mystery writer; granted, I may want to strangle her in the process, but I do have faith in her as a writer. _________________ ~.~.~.~.~.~ |

Re: The failures of Harry potter I found an article on the Leaky Cauldron today that says she is not writing a mystery novel and it was a joke.

Re: The failures of Harry potter Well that's a bummer. I would love to read a mystery novel written by her. Just as Sokka Swordsman, says, I am ready to read anything she writes. Funny, she has set the bar extremely high, however I have no doubts she can raise to her own challenge.

Re: The failures of Harry potter lol that wud be cool, tho it's very unlikely. i actually hope she writes a new book with a different genre, because i want to see how her skills are in writing a non-fantasy book.

Re: The failures of Harry potter Oh yeah, I always get confused between what's a billion in America and what's a billion here
 I think in Europe it's a million million, and in America it's a thousand million. That's still a lot of money _________________ . .  . . . .

Re: The failures of Harry potter no not really she's made alot of money through the books and films but i dont think she's that rich not compared to some other British authors.

Re: The failures of Harry potter AnnieBee wrote: It's a pity I found this topic at this late hour. I have quite a few things to say in this regard, but I will say this; Harry Potter has many of the elements known in wizard and witches stories; true, but the mastery and skill in which the author has written her story is the real magic. Her hero is believable, anyone can relate and sympathize with him. Her hero is not omnipotent, he is full of flaws and humanity. Her writing is appealing because of her style. She has the mystery, the humor, the sensitivity, the boldness, the creativity, the cleverness. Sauron, the LOtR has it's own merits. But it is a different kind of fantasy, therefore they cannot be compared. Their stories, setting, plot lines, etc, simply run parallel to each other. LotR is not a read for any kind of reader. It is a hard series to read because it is slow, and to some extent boring, but a wonderful tale. I consider myself a good reader and during a lifetime, I have read different types of genres, but I had a very hard time finishing the series. It wasn't until I purchased the audios that I realized how much I had missed and how thrilling the series is. But I would never diminish it's value. As I cannot diminish the Potter series's value. It's refreshing, humorous, intriguing, heart-pounding, accessible to all kinds of readers. I for one read LOTR because of the Potter series. I also read The Chronicles of Narnia, because of the Potter series. I read all the authors who were known as 'the Inklings' and who JKR admires so much. I had to laugh at some posts here, because I know as a fact they are criticizing the Potter series when then have NEVER set eyes on them because of religious beliefs, or because they lack the intrinsic reading level to pick up the real beauty of the series. So many millions of adults cannot be mistaken or taken. So many people, adults, specifically, cannot be stupid enough to be just plain followers, like docile little sheep, who just decided to jump on the bandwagon. I consider myself an intelligent woman, I am a leader, not a follower and I resent you saying that I followed the series because of the hype, and when you generalize, you are including me. I have never been one to do what others do because that is the 'trend' or 'fashion.' God gave me brains and I know how to use them, and so do many, many, MANY other adult Potter fans. YOU GO!!!! I agree COMPLETELY with you! The Harry Potter series is awesome!!! I don't see why everyone is trash-talking it if none of them have even read the whole series! The last 3 r the best! The movies suck though . . . but still! I actually came on to this section of the site so I could put on a topic saying all the good things about the HP series, but when I saw this I was APPALLED!!!!  _________________ Team Edward + Team Jacob = Team Bella I am Team Bella all the way.
