Yikes!

I am trying to get through all the Harry Potter posts at the child_lit listserv. It may take the rest of my life. I just found a link to this eye-popping condemnation of Harry at The Nation. This reviewer definitely wasn't enjoying being immersed in the serial aspects of the story.

For balance, you might also like to consider Cheryl Klein's blog post Seven Reasons Why People Love Harry Potter.

  1. I'm afraid I've given up trying to keep up with them - the threads have got very convoluted and argumentative in my mind, so I just skim and read the non-HP ones...

    If you feel like talking HP though, don't forget the Scholar's Blog discussion is still open...

  2. I thought that had moved over to child_lit. I will go take a look.

    I have to admit that I'm barely looking at the really long posts, and some subjects within the subject have pretty much run their course for me.

  3. No, I meant my monthly Blog Book Discussion Group is discussing HP7 on the Scholar's Blog Spoiler Zone.
