Isn't that going to far? Yes she is brilliant, but a nobel prize?

I think she deserves it!

Ah why not, she does write about good over evil. But I am sure there someone who is helping orphans or feeding hungry people who may deserve it more.

ofcourse she should..!

^yeah, not now...maybe when all the 7 books have been released...give it several more years, then Hp is a classic

I love Isabel Allende, so it's great to see her praise JKR so highly.

Right. Wait until it's more than just a modern cultural phenomenon. She's great, her writing is inspiring... but it seems a little far-fetched and early to award her a Nobel Prize. Ms. Rowling still has time to peak! :D

Well yes, but this is the Nobel prize for literature, isn't it?

Isabelle Allende's a great writer...i agree with Snuffles, i dont think its likely JKR'll receive a Nobel Prize so soon, it'll be great if she did, but maybe after all the 7 books are released.

that would be very interesting! i don't see why she shouldn't.the books are so magical,and,you read closely, you can learn a lot of good values in them that would really inspire you.perhaps that's one criterion of winning a nobel prize...how your work has inspired the people.
