Anonymous asked: Do you think Harry Potter is overrated or do you love it? What do you think of Pottermore?

The first Harry Potter book was published on my 16th birthday, so I blame my disinterest on the fact that I was too old for it (I did very much enjoy a different book about a school for witches when I was ten, though). I read a few of them, because my sister (five years my junior) was a fan, so they were in our house, but I gave up around the fourth one because it was just too long and I didn’t think the writing was very good.

Which is to say that I’m not particularly interested in the books as texts but as someone interested in the publishing industry, I’m interested in Harry Potter: The Business. So…I guess I’ll be interested to see if Pottermore shifts the ebook market, and how.
