Dunno.  They're nothing special.  I'll take Winnie-ther-Pooh or The Wind in
the Willows, any day.
Harry Potter will never last the way they have.  Too much marketing hype,
and not enough solid content.

By the same measure: why are parents forced to pay �2.50 for eleven small
pieces of card with the cartoon equivalent of fighting cocks printed on
them?

I was just as bad when I was a kid.  If a TV show or a bunch of other kids
enthusiastically told me something was *great*, I tended to believe them.
