A NEW Rowling review site. Can it be true?

[mary-j-59.livejournal.com]

Hi, everyone! I hope this doesn't get flagged as spam: the folks at Ferretbrain posted a link to a tumblr called Reviewing Rowling. The reviews are a bit harsh - I truly don't think Rowling's grammar is that bad - but the reviewer talks sense about Harry's lack of normal affect and Petunia and Vernon's very normal and sympathetic desire to protect their son. Here's the link:

Yes, I didn't pay as much attention to the grammatical criticisms, but I thought that the blogger has very good points about Draco and Harry’s first and second interaction, the absurdity of having Slytherin House if everyone there is supposed to be bad, and the implication of powerlessness when it comes to refusing to call Voldemort by his name.

Also, the concepts of “playing fair” and the Law of Conservation of Characters were very interesting to read about. I like mysteries myself, so I’ll keep those two concepts in mind when reading them. :)

/Still, I'd never seen Harry Potter contrasted with Luke Skywalker!/

Oh, I have, in a MAD Magazine parody where Harry is confronted by Luke and Cinderella, both of whom accuse of him of copying them.
