Title: Not the best
Review: I have read all three Harry Potter books and I do intend to keep reading the series but I'm not sure what all the hype is about. While these books are entertaining (and, as a teacher, of course I'm thrilled kids want to read these books or any others) J.K. Rowling is no C.S. Lewis, Susan Cooper, Lloyd Alexander, e. Nesbitt, Edgar Eager or Jane Langton -- all talented writers who have written fabulous books which take their readers to different worlds (all of them far more magical than Harry Potter's). The Harry Potter books are a good hook to get kids reading and interested but I would recommend any of the above-mentioned authors over Rowling. If you like the Harry Potter books, please don't just sit waiting for the Rowling publication. Instead, try these writers -- you won't be disappointed!
