If you don’t work in publishing, you might not realize how many “Harry Potter” wannabes have been pitched, published, and forgotten since the series started hitting bestseller lists. It is easy to lump Lady Georgia Byng’s Molly Moon series in with the rest of the field of imitators, but at least they have a cute dog. They also have a nice theme of empowerment for young girls judging from Christopher N. Rowley’s big screen adaptation of her first adventure, “Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism.”
Molly first mesmerizes Miss Adderstone's snarly pug Petula with great success.
