Naturally, when anything is doing well, there is bound to be a group of
those that have to tear it down.

Today's wall street journal has a commentary from a Yale professor who
apparently feels that Rowling's books are not worth eading because they
are not fine literary classics.

I disagree, and my reply can be found at:

The way I see it, reading by kids is important, and what beter than a
series that will keep them interested through at least 3 more books, no?
