Q. I have a few books from the 30s-40s.
I just want to know if they would be considered "antiques". They aren't worth anything, but they're rare.

Answer
Standard customs practices outline as 25 years is vintage (classic in automobiles) and 100 years is antique. Many Americans consider 50 years an antique. If you've ever tried to bring anything old into the U.S., you know how nice the 100 year standard is as the customs fees for antiques are so high!

How Will the Harry Potter Books Be Remembered 50 Years From Now?

When I was in high school, a friend had a nice leatherbound copy of "The Fellowship of the Ring." It was a gift given to his father by his (the father's) uncle when the books were still fairly new. In the flyleaf, his uncle, who happened to be a professor of literature, had written that he believed that Tolkien's epic would become a classic, and that it would always continue to be widely read.
Do you think that the same can be said for the Harry Potter books? Will people still be reading them 50 years from now? Will they be considered classics and take a place next to "The Lord of the Rings" and the Narnia books as part of the English fantasy canon?
Please consider the books as works of literature, not simply as books you either do or do not enjoy, so that I can get an idea of what you are really thinking.
Thank you for your consideration of my question.
Answer
Well, as the books are very well written, where it's easy for kids to understand, but there is a compelxity that adults will like, as well as the morals it teaches and how easy it is for everyone to relate to the emotions described in the book, because everyone has felt them, makes the Harry Potter series a possibility to become a classic. I think it will.
