Stephen King on Harry Potter

Now that the dust has settled on The Deathly Hallows, Stephen King weighs in on the series and on J. K. Rowling. King, of course, is one of the few fiction authors who can write about Rowling's success without bitterness, and his thoughts on Rowling's craft are sharp. He also knows just a little bit about toiling in the genre-novel wilderness.

Minor spoilage for those of you who haven't completed Hallows—which King justifies by observing that if you haven't read it yet, you must not be that big a fan.
