I liked Harry Potter when it was Star Wars. When she repackaged the idea, it got really weak. If you like myths, read Ovid, or Homer, or Grimm. Not watered down feel good nerd food.

No flame, but I enjoy the books, and have read Ovid, Homer, Grimm, Tolkien, Dante, Hans Christian Andersen and the Mabinogi in two translations.

And I’m enormously impressed with the impact it’s had on its young readers.
