Stephen King on Harry Potter
Stephen King has written a great piece about Harry Potter, the series end, and how no reviewer has done it justice. It is a great article (DOES contain spoilers, which he explains) and I strongly recommend you read it!
Jo Rowling set out a sumptuous seven-course meal, carefully prepared, beautifully cooked, and lovingly served out. The kids and adults who fell in love with the series (I among them) savored every mouthful, from the appetizer (Sorcerer’s Stone) to the dessert (the gorgeous epilogue of Deathly Hallows). Most reviewers, on the other hand, bolted everything down, then obligingly puked it back up half-digested on the book pages of their respective newspapers.And because of that, very few mainstream writers, from Salon to The New York Times, have really stopped to consider what Ms. Rowling has wrought, where it came from, or what it may mean for the future. The blogs, by and large, haven’t been much better. They seem to care about who lives, who dies, and who’s tattling. Beyond that, it’s all pretty much duh.

Just finished reading your blog Tom. It had been a while since I last visited your site. Interesting topics. Did your Deathly Hallows theories become reality?
love you

One or two of them did, but my big one didn’t. Oh well. It was an amazing book and perfect end to the series.
