You know what was required reading for me? This crapBland, tasteless self-help book/religious propaganda disguised as a fiction novel. It was fucking terrible, at least, as far as I read. Because I refused to read the whole thing.
Andy Andrews?Is his middle name Anderson?
I general I'd say I agree 98% with Grandy's post above.
There is also a great deal of poetry to Shakespeare's work, something which Rowling absolutely lacks. Also, something which people forget is that his works were intended to be acted, not read. They are plays.

For one, you can't do something as simple as take a writer, artist or something similiar and put it in a different time frame of the world. Like Shakespear would be overlooked in today's world, Rowling would be put on the stakes in his. Comparing the two is like comparing apples with beef. It's from two different worlds.
