Oh, Gambit. Give it a rest. Just because you couldn't write a grocery list worth bothering to read doesn't mean you can bash on Rowling. It reminds me of the Anne Rice bashers who haven't got a clue just how hard it is to integrate that many characters and that much history and weave it through several series and have it all make sense. (Sorry. Had a rant about this the other day.) I bet the kid just read your diary and got depressed. Give her some prozac.
Harry Potter is unoriginal? Firstly, nothing is completely original anymore. That has long been accepted in literature. Secondly, I have never seen a series like it. It borrows a lot of themes, but it is certainly not close enough to anything else to even be cousins. Believe me, loads of people have tried to discredit it. No one has found anything worth mentioning. Also, Stephen King said they were brilliant. He bashed Stephenie Meyers publicly. I'll take his opinion.
Now that those of us who can't read have been sorted out, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I understand that they had problems replacing Ledger, but they only got the best actors in Hollywood, with the exception of that cheesy Colon Farell or whatever his name is. They could have done it better.
