I've been working through a pretty substantial thread, beginning with 
post 33582, entitled "Harry Potter- A Worthwhile Series?".  The 
thread began with a criticism of JKR's writing ability as compared to 
Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and includes some very thorough responses 
regarding the quality of the HP series.  I've been coding them all to 
1.3.2 Narrative style.  However, perusing some of the later posts, 
I've noticed that Carolyn has been a bit more liberal in her coding, 
including all of the following:

  1.3.1 Parameters set by JKR/Authorial intent
  1.3.2 Narrative style
  1.6.1 Tolkein
  1.6.2 CS Lewis
  1.6.5 Children's classics
  1.3.1.2 Reader response & subversive readings 

I hadn't been including any of the 1.6 categories, since the posts 
aren't discussing influences but rather differences/similarities 
between the HP series and other authors.  Do you think I should go 
back and add these, or should I just leave my batch as is?
