While I like Harry Potter and all, that doesn't mean I like the hype surrounding it all that much. In subsequent readings of the books, I realize that part of what makes her so accessable is that she's such an easy read. Everything is, at some point, generally quickly, spelled out. Unlike other authors who leave out explanations or make the reader figure it out with the help of a Companion or something.
There's also the small fact that her plot really isn't all that unique. And while it's done well, I still can't help but think of other books as I read it which treat certain elements better.
