The Eighth Harry Potter Movie

minorbird pretty much nailed it.
Literary genius it's not, but she's got children reading. I think that matters a hell of a whole lot.
Besides, something doesn't need to be perfect to be enjoyable. Take the original Star Wars Trilogy. One of the most beloved stories and film series of our generation. The dialogue is actually relatively cheesy and weak half the time and the plot is an incredible cliche when you take the space element out. Poor peasant meets mentor figure and goes on a quest to save the princess. Hero gets caught up in a quest to save the world from an evil emperor. Throw in magic and a daring rogue and that's essentially every fantasy story ever.

Don't forget dysfunctional families! They're everywhere!
Ikrik:
Actually JK Rowling ISN'T getting kids to read. A study was done somewhere in BC that showed that after Harry Potter kid's aren't reading anything else. While I applaud her for getting some kids reading if they put down reading after Harry Potter nothing has changed.
Dimmukane:
But it is encouraging literacy. I think. She does use some big words from time to time that I imagine most 8 year olds would be clueless about otherwise.
MissAmbiguity:
She's a better story teller than she is a writer, if anyone understands what I mean by that o.o''
