"People don't flock to Harry Potter because it's about a whiny brat, they flock to it because it's popular and because they 'like it' (Snrk)."
I've never flocked to Harry Potter because it's popular...I've been reading it from the begining.
And yes, prehaps its not all that original...but being a fantasy writer myself I recognise JK Rowling as being able to maintain a good plot with tight writing and a strong emotional pull.
I don't think they should ever attempt to make it. The thing thats made Harry Potter a laughing stock is the excessive merchandising and the appalling movies.
