"It's at http://www.nytimes.com/library/books/081200anti-potter.html - the
header here says it all - anti-potter. It discusses a bit of the backlash
against the book, and that jerk Harold Bloom's diatrabe from the Wall
Street Journal back in June, but the overall tone I got from the piece
is that the author thinks the backlash is, more or less, unjustified."

The nerve of those Muggles! The haters! I absolutely despise snobbery
in lit criticism!

They are undoubtedly the same people who think that Toni Morrison (one
of my favorite adult authors) is a hack and that a zillion other authors
who no one but English major read today are gold.

I'm reminded of a saying in literary circles: "Reviewers are usually
nasty because most of them are unsuccessful authors themselves."
