A big bat bogey hex to Andrew Davies...

[Catherine Coleman]

...For saying on The Big Read on Saturday night, that the Harry Potter 
books are unreadable, that her characters are merely "stock", that she 
can't write, and that he admires all those poor parents who are forced 
to read the books to their children.  That's after he admitted to only 
having read the first 30 pages of one of them.

I can forgive Andrew Davies for a lot - he was, after all, responsible 
for Colin Firth emerging from that lake in Pride and Prejudice (he wrote 
the screenplay, for anyone who doesn't know) - but slating JKR and 
dismissing the books when he hasn't even read them?  Gah.  How dare he?
