OT: Oz is not Hogwarts

The following article is mainly a comparison of the Oz books
to Narnia, but it also mentions JKR and Harry.

I've been a devotee of Oz since practically infancy, but I have to
admit that the author has a point.  JKR's world, though darker and
more dangerous, makes for better literature.  And at least Harry's
friends are not in a rut like the unaging, unchanging Oz characters.
Harry *will* someday grow up, get married, and be DADA teacher,
and Hermione isn't condemmed to be a "little girl after all" forever.
