I understand that some people don’t enjoy reading Harry Potter (Not really, I think they’re nuts!). But what I can’t tolerate are the people who turn up their nose at the series as if it’s not worth reading because it’s not great literature (I would argue with this as well).
The other day I stumbled across this great post/lecture by editor Cheryl Klein about what writers can learn from Harry Potter.
Enjoy!

I totally agree… the book wouldn’t have sold like it did if there wasn’t something we could LEARN from it, ya know?
Thanks Jamie! I think it’s amazing what JK Rowling did for kids and reading.
