SagemindNot great comedy - but there is a point in there - Harry Potter is just that - a stepping stone to greater literature. Sure Harry Potter books introduced kids who never picked up a book before into the world of literature. (But) How many people people stepped down from a world of literature to read Harry Potter?
There are So many great books out there and kids everywhere just keep re-reading the same Harry Potter books or Twilight books and are stunted from ever moving on. My daughter has read the HP books a few times and the Twilight books perhaps 5-6 times each.
Move on already..., My daughter just finished reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy now so I'm hoping to get her moving on to other stuff - Many never will read another book series ...
Trancecoachsame is true of the Tolkien series.
After reading the Hobbit at age 10, I felt ready to read Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and after that, well, why not Melville?

I agree that Hitchhikers should be considered a gateway book because reading it after reading some seriously good Science Fiction is disappointing...kinda like Snow Crash. Yeah I said it.
Nebosukesays...Ender's Game has surprised me even though it is usually shelved in Juvenile Fiction.
