Rep Power: 5  |  But HP suffers from lack of originality. If you have read Enid you will find her writing matching with Enid. Also plot is also not that original. |

| Platinum Member  | Enid Blyton was the darling of the children before Rowling came up. She has written so many books for the children: - Secret Seven series - Famous Five Series - Five Findouter series - Mallory Towers Series - many others I used to read her books a lot. |

I think ppl are taking the intellectual property right issue a bit too far .... it is likely that any author who writes a book will be influenced at least to some extent by books that she has already read ... you cant call HP a rip off any particular book , can you ? You have to credit her with restarting the habit of reading in today's children .... before HP reading was a dieing habit in developed countries ..... She still remains one of the most widely read authors of today | |

Rep Power: 1 | I agree that it's too early to say whether HP will have enduring popularity. Whether it will be inducted into the Western canon will certainly take time. I think that LOTR and Dune, such lasting works of science fiction/fantasy have proven their status as "classics" in the genre. Also, even though the LOTR movies helped expand the readership of the novels, LOTR was famous even before the movies were made. So the impression that "the movies made the books famous" is completely incorrect. To say that the books were not "famous" before the movies is inaccurate.

Rep Power: 5 | I don't have any favourite author. I judge them book by book. Also I am not able to tell which is my favourite book because how can you compare different type of books & style? |
