Opinion

Grant: J.K. Rowling is the most influential original thinker alive

“I really think Harry Potter is going to have this impact. I would probably put my money on JK Rowling as the most influential original alive because Harry Potter sold more books than any other series, except maybe the Bible.”

Assertion Not checkable as stated

Grant: Reading Harry Potter reduces prejudice and stereotyping in children

“There's also academic research now showing that after kids read Harry Potter, they become less prejudiced. So they learn not to stereotype people in the way that wizards look down on muggles.”

Opinion

Harari: Swearing on the Bible is like swearing on Harry Potter

“And even when people testify in court, I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, they swear on the Bible, which is so full of fictions and myth and error. It's like you can swear on Harry Potter just the same.”
