And as for Harry Potter not being literature, well, I'd strongly take issue with that; I knew there was a major literary event happening here about the time I noted that my rereadings of HP were catching up to the number of my rereadings of the much more adult Lord Of The Rings. And I'm forty-seven years old. Sure, HP is kid-lit, but it is literature nonetheless. It will stand with Alice In Wonderland, Wind in the Willows, and The Hobbit.
