"Not So Wild About Harry"

Mitch Albom has written a wonderful, nostalgic column in which characters from our favorite childhood books discuss Harry Potter. "Once, it seemed, there was room for all kinds of kids' books. Tigers and spiders and princes and Indians. But these days, it's all Harry. Harry in print. Harry online. Harry in theaters. Harry in the toy store. Never has a hype machine worked harder to make a big thing bigger. Never has the media so gleefully jumped on a bandwagon of countdowns, hints and contests."
