John C. Wright pointed me towards this Harry Potter series review written by Stephen King. You know, the spooky guy from Maine. King commends Rowling for her writing, criticizes the majority of book journalists, and puts the series in context with other young adult literature. It is a good piece.
Orson Scott Card has written a couple of pieces about Potter as well. The first is a discussion of religion and Potter at Beliefnet. The second is a review of the Deathly Hallows at his own blog.
In an unrelated but interesting aside, someone at RPGnet wonders what American arcane society would look like? Would we have our own Hogwarts or 5 magical schools as he outlines.
