You think so?  While I enjoyed Artemis Fowl (I've got a signed copy, btw), I didn't really find them that similar.  Artemis, while the "hero" of the book, I found to be more of an antagonist rather than protagonist.  Harry is much more likeable.  Also, not to get into too much hot water, though Harry is brave and determined, Artemis is a heckuva lot smarter, more clever, and far more worldly.  I think he's probably even brighter than Hermione.

I'll have to read the other book.  It sounds enjoyable, and I'll enjoy finding the HP comparisons.

Welcome to the group!
