And as for the fairies and elves and so on, it's a nice way to use such fairy-tale creatures like that. I myself like Artemis Fowl, for it's originality. Oh well, if you change your mind, I'm glad for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113567.post-1133774783795653112005-12-05T01:26:00.000-08:002005-12-05T01:26:00.000-08:00I like <I>Howl's Moving Castle</I> the best too, along with <I>Fire and Hemlock</I>, which is wonderful - Chrestomanci was a specific recommendation for Potter fans. But I've yet to meet a DWJ book I don't enjoy.Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113567.post-1133538427191097442005-12-02T07:47:00.000-08:002005-12-02T07:47:00.000-08:00Dianna Wynne Jone's early Dalemark Quartet is also very good, but I think I like Howl's Moving Castle the best.<BR/><BR/>Also, the Borribles have just been re-issued! The last one is the best - you could easily read it without the others.

And I haven't read <I>Artemis Fowl</I>, but he's never really appealed.<BR/><BR/>If we're on children's fantasy, can I recommend Diana Wynne Jones? The Chrestomanci series should appeal to any Potter fans, especially <I>The Lives of Christopher Chant</I> and <I>Witch Week</I>, which features a sort of anti-Hogwarts! And <I>Fire and Hemlock</I> is an amazing book.Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113567.post-1133303194648532522005-11-29T14:26:00.000-08:002005-11-29T14:26:00.000-08:00I hate, hate, hate Artemis.
