If he has the citizenship of both countries why would he need a visa.The answer is clearly no.
2 :
Is he a Citizen of the UK or a NATIONAL?!?!?! Because if he is a NATIONAL he will need a visa, but if his passport says Citizen than all he has to do is apply for an ESTA Approval before coming to the States!!

Is it true that Harry Potter is Great Britain's greatest literary work

Is it true that Harry Potter is Great Britain's greatest literary work?
your opinions please....yeah, I'm in a fey mood right now...roll with it....LOL Surely you all can't be saying those lightweights like Shakespeare, Milton and such are even close...???? Thank you all....your answers have reaffirmed my faith in humanity...and I've surely gotten some good laughs this fine morning... By the way, for the anti-witchcraft crowd, may I remind you that Shakespeare wrote several works where that was key to the plot.

Harry Potter is the WORLD'S greatest literary work!!!!!
2 :
if you call fiction a great literary work, you do not have the taste for literature. i would call salman rushdie a far better writer than J.K rowling
3 :
Absolutely not!
4 :
No it's not
5 :
Of course not. Who on earth ever argued such a ridiculous thing (12 year olds do not count)? British/English literature goes back a millennium. Beowulf, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Tennyson, Shelley, Byron, White, Tolkien, Lewish and many, many more are much greater literary masters than Rowling. There's no debate there and I assure you Rowling would not argue herself.
6 :
Um maybe in the realm of fantasy, but i guess this all depends on who is saying its the greatest. thats all opinion but i dont think it comes any where near the greatest.
7 :
Most definitely...NOT!! Although I would conceed that JKR is now in league with many of the great British authors (Bronte, Hardy, Forster etc) Harry Potter cannot be considered the greatest literary work to come out of Britain. However, if you were to add "in our time" to the end of you sentence then you could get the answer yes. JKR made it possible for kids to fall in love with reading again. And Harry Potter appeals to people of all ages because, depending on where you are at in your life you will get a different message from the books. JKR is a genius, and I love her to bits as an author, but don't ever forget the hundreds of amazing authors to come from Britain.
8 :
I personally believe Harry Potter is the worst thing ever made. I am appalled on how this author has glamorized the art of witchcraft and unholy phenomenon. Yes I'm probably gonna get alot of crap but who cares. I understand this is fantasy, but to young children, it is very impressionable. No way would I let my children read that crap.
9 :
Great Britain's greatest literary work ever, no, but in our time yes!
10 :
no its not, but its a great fictional novel series!!!!
11 :
I think that it is definitely too early to say. Harry Potter needs to be tested over time. Works from other authors, such as Shakespeare, have already proved themselves as well as providing groundbreaking new literally styles.
12 :
i suspect that in the fullness of time people will realise that the fundamental input from shippers, and the way jkr played with her audience on her website, make the harry potter series a new kind of fiction. when something is a different kind of thing from something else it comes close to being meaningless to compare them. an orange isn't better than a tomato, george eliot isn't better than smollett, picasso isn't better than martin scorsese. the harry potter series is the greatest interactive novel ever written - but then so far it is probably the only interactive novel ever written. i suspect a hundred years from today it will still be the best of its kind; the way shakespeare is the best of his kind.

I am afraid to work in Great Britain

I am afraid to work in Great Britain ?
I am from the Country. Will these Brits make me their laughing stock ? I have lived around farm where I seen horses and cows all my life. Will they try to dominate me ? I am not from England and never been there but I heard that Birmingham looks like Kentucky.

I'd stay at your farm, Britain really isn't that great. I do not know what you mean by 'dominate me', it sounds kinda kinky. A lot of farm work in the UK is done by Polish immigrants who now want to go home. The pay is poor -usually sub-minimum wage. The farming industry has been eaten alive by the supermarket chains such as Sainsburys, Asda and Tesco.

I want to work in Great Britain

I want to work in Great Britain?
I am a 24 year old man..I am studying Mechanical Engineering Technology with a minor in Engineering Mangement and my focus is in Marine Engineering.. I am also trained in the field of Nuclear Engineering. I always wanted to travel around the world, so when I finish up school this fall (December) I want to work for a firm that will send me around the world (mostly Europe). I always wanted to live in G.B for at least 2 years. Is the job market for engineers is in great demand and a place for a young African American man to live in peace? And if not moving to England where can I live where the opptunities of me traveling around the world? I just need some help..I want to leave my town and be in a world that is so diffrent from my own and learn as much as possible being in a new enviorment..And fine a wife in Spain..lol

Hi Wes. I suspect the lack of response to your question is because Britain has suffered a huge influx of people from other countries coming in, in the last few years. As a result, the Natives are getting a little tetchy about it. I do not have a problem with it at all, but I do feel that you should research this and give it a lot of thought before you decide. As an island, our tourist industry is largely about boats. Where I come from in Norfolk, we have large stretches of river and more importantly the Norfolk Broads. (link below) Have a look. Marine engineering is a highly skilled job, but I can't decide for you, what you should do, especially the Spanish wife bit. :-) . I think people have an idealistic view of what Britain is like. Why not have a holiday in Britain a few times before you decide. Come to Norfolk first though. lol.
