Hey Steve, or anybody else in the know these days:

Could someone give me a run down of the major awards the HP series has won?
They've surely won something besides that Kid's Choice thing. I mean,
haven't they? I dunno. I don't suppose they've hauled in any Pulitzers or
Nobels, but I seem to recall something about a Whitbread.

Baaaaa,

Mike, who is, glory be, writing. And hence looking for people to do his
research for him ...

 

 



I'm not able to give a definitive list, but JKR definitely won a Whitbread -
Children's book of the year for Goblet of Fire.  Apparently, there was much
discussion as to whether it should win overall book of the year, but Seamus
Heaney won with his Beowulf.  I remember this quite clearly, as Jerry Hall
was on the panel that year and was quite sniffy about the value of HP over
adult books.  I think she's also won Smartie Awards and Carnegie Medals, so
you could google those..

 

Catherine.
