T.C. Harris@jepyang I remain convinced that much of the American praise for the "originality" of the HP books is rooted in crediting authorial creativity for things that are actually perfectly mundanely British - like the organization of boarding schools and social classes.
Alexander The 1st@q_aurelius @jepyang To be fair, a lot of fantasy novels probably lose their lustre when you realize one world's elves are interchangeable with another, and every world's dwarves are basically LOTR dwarves with the serial numbers attached.
