Your rant was much needed, thank you. True my 13 year old brother in
law does read these lovely books however I have read all of them so far
and he's still trying to get through the Diagon Alley chapter in SS. or
PS. (depending on where you are.)
I think though that this Professor forgets that "classic" literature is
far more sexist, racist and formulaic, however this literature does not
get classified as such because it created the formulas and the acceptable
level of the negative "ist"s. More over with in reason who cares what
children/ students are reading as long as they are reading!

On a more personal note.... I ordered my copy of 4, YAY... YOO
HOO... Yippie!
