Absolutely agree.I went and read her "critique" of GoF on the 
publisher's site. I couldn't find a single interesting observation 
that hadn't already been discussed on this and other sites over the 
last couple of months. The rest was  ridiculous, forced attempts at 
insight e.g. JKR describes Frank as "pottering" around the gardens in 
the opening chapter to show that Harry Potter is omnipresent in the 
books - I ask you.I can't help feeling that what we have here is a 
bad case of the intellectual disease that can't accept that any book 
is worth reading until some academic maggot has crawled over it and 
pronounced.
