Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett is so clearly what inspired Harry Potter and so much fundamentally a better book I’m frankly blown away.

I’m also shocked at the sudden jump in quality from the first two books. Which are very fun but someone hit the man with the good story telling stick between books 2 and three and can I please be next?

@futurebird Rowling owes a whole to Diana Wynne Jones too.

Ha, I always thought of Diana Wynne Jones when people started getting obsessed with Harry Potter. She was a favorite author of my childhood, for sure
