Well, I enjoyed the Potter books the first time around (though I was getting increasingly irritated with the adolescent antics in books 6 and 7), BUT.... Rowling may be a talented story-teller, but in comparison, Terry Pratchett is a writer.

As to his "laying into" Rowling, I doubt that it was more than an amused, throwaway comment. An author's success is not only measured in sales, and I don't think Rowling will ever command the respect that Pratchett does.

Between the two, there's no contest - Viva Pterry!
