Hey guys:

Read the Harry Potter books, and then read this one. Tell me if you read anything that seems similar. SammyJames 03:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)SammyJames reply

To me, only in the very superficial sense of having a young male protagonist who is exposed/initiated into a world of magic. There are quite a few differences: England vs. America, a formal magical education vs. dribs and drabs from one's uncle and neighbor, a supernatural community that is at the forefront of the books vs. one that is only hinted at, etc. Also, as much as I enjoy the Harry Potter books for what they are, I love Bellairs' spooky detailed imagery far more than anything Rowling does. Perhaps that's because I read Bellairs first, or perhaps it's because I'm American. I dunno. Applejuicefool ( talk) 21:47, 8 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Someone who seems to never have read the book continues to insert corrections that aren't even close to the actual story. Attention, moderators! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.161.29.68 ( talk) 21:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC) reply
