   I have never found anything in the HP texts which I would remotely   
   callmajestic writing. Nothing, nothing in fact that I would be   
   surprised to see thousands of others able to write.   
      
   It's her ability to story that makes JKR successful certainly not her   
   prose which is at any call at best "good".   
      
   She is no Lewis or Tolkein; authors who can spin prose that is truly   
   wondrous to experience.
