Furthermore, they're not even TRYING to be the same thing, so I don't see why she insists on comparing the two. Ursula LeGuin is writing a pitiful attempt at insight into trite truths about humankind thinly disguised as a story, while JKR is writing a fun action adventure story. So yeah, I prefer Rowling's world. AS Byatt can suck it. (I didn't like Possession, either). Ranty ranty McRant.
