Terry Pratchett took a bit of offense at a fairly idiotic statement J.K. Rowling made in a recent Time interview. Neil Gaiman goes one better and slams Time for publishing a sloppy article in the first place (and it seems to me that the article puts words in her mouth, or at least corrupts what she said).
I’m going to have thoughts on the Potter books in a bit (i.e. when I get through the damn things), but I wanted to drop this out there for those like me who haven’t figured out why seemingly everyone in the anglophone world thinks that the Harry Potter series is the ne plus ultra of literature.
