Now, that's a little insulting, ne? Maybe you didn't intend for it to be, but it sounded it. I am a Harry Potter obsessed fangeek, but I'm still pretty well read, if I do say so myself. I am a fangeek because I've read so many other really good books, and very, very few of them have been even close to as singularly excellent as the Harry Potter series*. Some were even better, but very, very few books or series lend themselves to the in-depth, intertextual referencing and research that Rowling's work lends itself to. It's like Lord of the Rings in that you can research it extensively and never run out of interesting new information.
