![“I have no great opinion of [JK Rowling’s writing style]. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a ‘school novel’, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vovca6kgp5ge773agrlvr7uu/bafkreiexsprzmzvkxhnqbfyuuqb6q7oqfgtigydnelf7s4lez74hut5b6y)
