So, I haven’t read any Harry Potter books.

However, Stephen King (“Uncle Stevie”)  is a big Potter fan and wrote this interesting analysis of the series, in particular, the final book.

I find J.K. Rowling’s story fascinating. I had heard the urban legend version years ago – about a poor, single mother writing the entire series on napkins in a coffee shop. I’m sure when they make a movie about her life, it will probably star Meg Ryan as the dowdy welfare recipient, madly scribbling on cocktail napkins. Then she’ll probably get an Oscar for it because she gained like 10 pounds for the role (like Nicole Kidman being nominated for “The Hours” because she wore a fake nose)…anyway…what was I talking about? Oh yeah, J.K. Rowling. Very inspiring stuff.
