Michael Rosen and Harry Potter.
The children's laureate Michael Rosen is today saying horrible things about the Harry Potter books.
Among his quotes: "I am distant from them whereas I read some kids' books and I get quite drawn in emotionally to them....They don't grab me personally....Figures appear and you don't know whether they are a goodie or a baddie....My seven-year-old daughter watches the films but they tend to spell it out a bit more....I haven't read the books to her, you don't want to bore your kids."
Well, Mr Rosen says he was misquoted. He will join us live on PM.
In the meantime, here he is performing one of his best-loved works:
