featherxquillJKR voted Britain's 'greatest living writer'?
Oh, world, NO.
Yes, I love the books, and I live on fandom, but they're hardly literature, and it bothers me that the people who are voting have obviously not read much wider. I think children, especially, since they are the books main target audience, need to read things other than Harry Potter as well. Some of the messages in the books are great. Others, not so good. Adults, please be reading more widely so you can also introduce your children to other books as well.
