My 2am musings:
As ITV have recently shown all the Harry Potter films, I made time to watch them all in sequence. I studied them closely but I fail to see him as a wizard. All the magic that happens is either given to him or done to him. The only thing you ever see him do for himself is shoot people with his Phazer-wand – which was given to him.
Hermione does all the donkey-work magic while Harry gets all the fame.
Am I missing something?
JK Rowling stole from JRR Tolkien. I will die on this hill. Always preferred Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter.
2 different sub genres Harry Potter is family fantasy in modern setting Lotr is high fantasy in a medieval like setting
I do prefer lotr though it has a better plot over all where as Harry Potter is 7 stories with a plot arc LOTR is one story split into 3 parts across 6 books or perhaps 6 parts across 3 books since this is the way it's mostly published
