Knockoffs of Harry Potter are just not worth it

My evidence being that: Jenny Nimmo sucks.  If she ever read this, she would probably be a little upset.  Sorry in advance for that.  But the Charlie Bone series, by the way, don't read it, is really bad.  She should have stopped after book 3.  Book 4 was alright, but with that book, you just start opening a huge can of worms.  The series would have ended with a party.  Everyone loves parties.  You just don't need good to triumph over evil all the time.  Almost typed ecstasy instead of evil there.  Whoa!  Why do stories want to end happily all the time and have closure?  Some closure is fine, but absolute resolution of the plot sometimes doesn't appeal to me, especially when the resolution is just way too hard to conceive of under the current circumstances.  Even with the Harry Potter series, you just can't keep track of all the solutions to a problem.  Whatever happened to time-turners?  And certain weird occurances just don't make sense.  These people do not know how to truly create their fantasy world.  It seems like you almost have to live in that world to truly conceive of it.  Like acting.  Whoever said that sanity was a requirement of being an artist anyway?
