Elizabeth Kennedy at About.com has a great post up about Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling with a zillion links to various J.K. Rowling interviews, and Harry Potter reviews and resources. If you’ve finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (I just did yesterday) and have some questions about the book, this is the place to find your answers.

Without giving any spoilers out, I must say Deathly Hallows was brilliant. Plus there’s no possible way for Rowling to ever be pursuaded to write another one. With what happens in this book, it’s just impossible to make another Harry Potter novel as exciting as the other ones. (Not sure I’m making sense, but then again, I don’t want to give anything away.)

Finally, I’ve been reading lots of YA (young adult) fiction this summer. (More on that later.) I admire Rowling, unlike so many YA authors out there, for making her books as detailed, multi-layered, and hard to read as they are. She challenges kids to come to her level.

That must be one of the many reasons why kids love her children’s books so. Rowling doesn’t write down to them, but let’s them soar with Harry and his friends. Thanks J.K.
