Christopher Hitchens on Harry Potter 7.

Discussion of the phenomenon. Critical, but not in an ad hominem sort of way. Worth a read even by fans.

A thoughtful and intriguing article.

I laughed when he started discussing the Manichean paradigm. Perfect, yet I suspect there were more readers not quite getting his meaning than there were agreeing about his points about the books.

Yeah, I liked it a lot. It's critical, but it's not just blindly critical, it's really looking at the phenomenon.
