Rosen criticize Rowling
Michael Rosen, UK’s Children Laureate has made a few comments about J.K Rowling in his tour to Scotland while promoting literacy among students. He said that Harry Potter does deserve credit for encouraging a generation of children to read but he feared that Harry Potter’s success may prevent youngsters from discovering other books and authors. He also said that JK Rowling is more of an adult writer leaving you hanging in the air at the end of each chapter with no idea what is going to happen next. And according to him children cannot cope with that. But there are some who disagreed to what he said and this includes the chairman of the panel of judges that chose Rosen to be Children’s Laureate. She said that it is true that children should not end with J.K. Rowling books alone but the point is, children have begun reading because of her book.
