 ANSWER---------Untrue. I have an entire chapter devoted to 
comparing the Rowling books with those of Lewis, and Tolkien. 
Also , I love Pratchett's work. He's hysterical.

ANSWER-------untrue. Rowling handles the so-called good vs. 
evil very diffferently in her tales. her tale is actually one of 
HORRENDOUS evil vs. mild badness (not really good).

ANSWER--------------Well, I happen to BE one of teh readers of 
the world. And I would be glad to debate anyone, anywhere, 
anytime. Set it up, I'll be there. I doubt I will lose, let alone 
miserably. Now, I suppose I wil be clled arrogant for that. Oh 
well.
