I love it! Let the narrow-minded critics criticize. At least one reviewer sees in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix shades of Hannah Arendt (on the banality of evil), Franz Kafka (on the evil of bureaucratic good intentions) and George Orwell (on the self-righteousness of the converted). [link] It's refreshing to see some learned discussion of what is, to my mind, a good read. Okay, maybe it's not exactly Hemingway or Faulkner, but I, for one, am tired of being lectured that only addle-brained idiots would read (or worse, like) this book. I am neither, and I liked the book.
