They haven't sent you to clean the Chamber of Secrets, or tidy up the Forbidden Forest, so on the whole, I would say you're doing rather well. For yourself, that is.

NOW STOP IMPALING STUDENTS!
 
That's a problematic approach, WS. How do you know something is inferior before you've read it? And if you refuse to read anything except Narnia in the firm belief that nothing out there is superior to Narnia, well, that's just a sad life. I feel sure Mr. Lewis would discourage that kind of thinking. Also, impaling wizards. Let's leave that to Peter Jackson.
 
Did you start at the beginning of book 1?

(I am at a loss...though J. K. Rowling's semi-urban fantasy, or whatever you call it, is admittedly quite different from high fantasy like LotR. But still....)
 
I read the Goblet of Fire. I strongly disliked Harry himself. Unlike some people, I don't really have a problem with the magic, but I dislike that the main protagonist is so flippant about following rules meant to keep him safe.
 
Do Frodo or Peter disobey authority figures and recklessly endanger others? No, they have respect for their superiors. Harry clearly doesn't.





Anyway, I tire of this topic.

I'd have to agree with you there. I grew up with people worry about the magic, but when I actually read the books myself, I concluded that they had really missed the point. I still like the books, but Harry's not my favorite character. Though I think he comes off considerably better if you read the books in order, so you understand more of why he relates to people in the way he does. (Book one has some very nice moments, but Harry also saves a stone that wouldn't have needed saving if he had stayed away from it in the first place....)

*pokes an eye to the trunkhole* With a...razor...and a copy of The Communist Manifesto...wait, are squirrels sharpening their teeth in there?
 
Shouldn't it suffice to send them to Ireland? If we can get the fairies to combat the squirrels, we could kill two indeterminate species with one indeterminate weapon or something like that.
