ah, thanks for links guys.
and totally. tho i dislike potter myself, tho i think there are other works far better than it, in writing, in plot, in everything, rowling did get kids to read. even if potter is the ONLY thing they ever read, they read it. they were excited about it. they were passionate about books. and i think that's a pretty impressive thing. so she's a bit arogant herself, by all accounts, and for that reason alone i'd not touch her books with a barge pole (there are other reasons too, but arrogance puts me off. this is just my opinion, of course) it's still great what she's done for kids
