Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

[7upromana01]

I went to Kings Cross and went to Platform 9&3/4! You now have to cue though! On a good note, you get given a scarf to wear for the photo (being true to my house, I chose Hufflepuff) and the trolley looks like this:

Who do think is better, Enid Blyton or J. K Rowling?

They're both great authors but who do you like better

[Francis]

Enid produced a huge variety of different characters and series aimed at a variety of age groups and the ability to bo concised and restrained. J.K.'s books are perhaps too long and somewhat overblown but are brilliant examples of the fantasy genre. I give first place to Enid but really they are not competing with each other.

[Moonraker]

I don't see how/why they need to be compared as both write in different genres. JKR wrote seven HP books, EB wrote over 700 books. I loved the HP series, but never felt any connection with Enid's books.

[7upromana01]

I have to say, I do love J.K.Rowling better than Enid Blyton. But I still do love Enid Blyton. Enid Blyton is my favourite overall but Harry Potter is my favourite series. Comprende?

(Plug time coming up)

That's why I done Five Go To Hogwarts! I done it because I wanted to combine my two favourite series! See it now on World of Blyton!

At my school we have different colour houses and we name our houses from harry potter!!I am Ravenclaw!

[Moonraker]

We had five houses, each named after a river that runs through the city.

[Daisy]

We had four houses each named after an English forest: Arden, Dean, Epping, and Sherwood. Goodness knows why a school in Wales should choose them!

[Fiona1986]

We had three houses named after local hills - Craigowl, Law and Balgay. Not as cool as the Harry Potter houses, but at least nobody really cared which house they ended up in. I can imagine fights over ending up a Hufflepuff (poor Hufflepuffs, nobody seems to like that house - except me and Abi we're proud Hufflepuffs!)

[Katharine]

We had four houses, named after prominent religious figures:- Newman, Gwyn, More and Campion.

I can imagine fights over ending up a Hufflepuff (poor Hufflepuffs, nobody seems to like that house - except me and Abi we're proud Hufflepuffs!)

I think Hufflepuff is the best house. Most other houses brag about their bravery, cleverness or are just sly. We are proud of the real things that make good friends.

PS: I am not being prejudice to other houses: I still would be proud to be a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw or a Slytherin.

[Ming]

We don't have houses or anything at my school - every grade has 3 sections. From Playgroup to Grade 2 we had Buttercup, Ladybird and Magpie (somehow I was always in either Ladybird or Magpie over the 6 years), from Grades 3 to 6 the sections were A, B and C (I was always in A - random sorting!!) and from grades 7 to 12 we were numbered 1, 2 and 3. I was always in 3. That HAS to be record.

And on Pottermore I'm a proud Slytherin, though it's been a while since I've been on Pottermore.

[Fiona1986]

Hufflepuffs are good people and rather unsung.

I did start playing Pottermore again recently, and spent a whole afternoon trying to make a potion to get into Snape's potion store. Eventually I succeeded, got into the store, and gained more ingredients to make an even harder potion . IMHO potion making is TOO HARD!

[honesty]

Same here Ming! I don't go on Pottermore very often only when I' bored...
But I got sorted out into Gryffindor. Share the genes as Harry Potter then!!!
