(who does think Rowling is doing a fine job with the series, 
considering she says she hasn't read much fantasy, but thinks she would 
have done even better if she had a little more experience with the SF&F 
genre.)

Adressing your post-name comment, I would like to point out that we're 
lucky she hasn't read much fantasy. While we have to suffer ocasional 
plot-holes and hole-devices, HP is still very different from any other 
fantasy I've read. If JK had read fantasy, she would've probably be 
contaminated (you know: beautiful, intelligent, TALL elves, dwarfs 
instead of gnomes, etc). I'm willing a few holes in the magical devices 
(explainable by the feared and hated "it's magic (shrug)") in exchange 
for this wonderful HP world.

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
