I'd been looking for a generalized criticism of the entire Harry Potter franchise, and Digg delivered:

To me, the article seemed to be not so much a general criticism of the Potter franchise so much as a lament for the state of literacy.  He also seemed to have his guns aimed at the nature of book marketing.

To be fair, I highly doubt there's all that many Potter fans out there who consider the entire phenomenon to be in any way artistic or enlightening.  At least I hope there isn't.  In fact, amongst adult fans (and I count myself in this number), the attitude towards these books seems to be that they're a guilty pleasure.

And if I may be so bold as to criticize a seemly intelligent (and quite naturally well read) book critic, I don't think someone should bring up such things as writing with a "wit-free tone" in an article peppered with an abundance of lame, Potter related metaphors.

Having said all that, I'm just a guy who enjoyed those books, so I may have a bit of a bias.  Despite the fact that, as the writer shows, this so-called Potter-mania has not encouraged more reading, I still think it's a superior alternative to fixing one's self in front of the TV.

If you look closely, it has two pancakes on it's head.

Thus, further supporting my thesis.

Am I wrong for finding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ossbPGIVikU funny? I mean, it's a YTMND fad, so I'm sort of partial to begin with...I'd really hate someone from spoiling something like that, though. Really, truly hate that person. So, does that make this schadenfreude?

Classic.
But people spoiling 7 or w/e is getting old. It isn't cool anymore.

So you are a fellow YTMNDer? Well I only watch the sites, I don't make any.
