Would these books have been so popular if a girl had been the main character?

I'd like to think the answer would be 'yes' !! but at least the girl was really clever helping out the boys. I haven't read the last book yet!
Rhetorical question ?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for rhetorical effect rather than for the purpose of getting an answer. ("How many times do I have to tell you to stop walking into the house with mud on your shoes?").
A rhetorical question seeks to encourage reflection within the listener as to what the answer to the question (at least, the answer implied by the questioner) must be. When a speaker declaims, "How much longer must our people endure this injustice?" or "Will our company grow or shrink?", no formal answer is expected. Rather, it is a device used by the speaker to assert or deny something.
Chrisb - Gotta love that Hermione!
FP - Hmm - I think you must have an opinion there. I guess I'm hopelessly naive. Wizard f Oz is pretty popular even though Dorothy is not magically blessed.
Well,then maybe the world IS ready for a girl named Harry Potter!
Does that mean you're on page 759 because my book only had about 608 pages?
I love Hermione and Harry couldn't have done any of it without her. I guess you know they put JK Rowling as the author because they wanted people to assume she was male or to not be put off buying the book by a female author.
What books are you talking about?
FP - May be - I wonder!
Beccy - The US book has 759. I wonder why yours is longer!! I doubt it could be all those extra u s (humour and colour)
Min - Hodges Encyclopedia of Cabinetry.
I don't know if Harriett Potter would have been as popular or not. I wonder...
Okay, I'm thinkin' they would. Just 'cause they're so well-written.
But then again, Mindy says I'm a hopeless optimist.
(Yes, you do so, Mindy!)
Beccy - Guess I got that backwards - guess that means we need bigger print or more pictures.
FP - I just fon't know.
Corky - Me too!
Stephanie - You are an optimist - but that doen's make it not so!!
I would like to think so, but it is a very good question.
Not a Potter fan myself---yet I would tend to put a lot of stock in your Oz analogy.
(no bias there ;-)
