I started reading Harry Potter when I was 10 and a half,and I instatnly fell in love with them and the characters.It was the first book that actually made me love reading and want to do it all the time.I grew up with Harry,Ron,and Hermione.They were like the friends I never had.Always having adventures.Doing magic.Getting into trouble.The perfect trio.J.K.Rowling is an amazing author who grips you from every angle imagineable.Her wit and humor is enjoyable to read,and the way she portrays her characters ,makes you intstantly fall in love with them,even if they are the bad guy.Their flaws make you love them all the more and she tugs at your heart strings to the point were you just want to break down cry.The books engulf you and take you there.Its a magic carpet,just without all the flying. Harry Potter will always have a place in my heart.   hide

After hearing she was publishing the final book, I read 1-6 however many months before it came out, and then read 7.I liked them fine, I'd say. The whole idea, as well as plots, themes, and characters were really well developed and interesting. The magical world she created and formed was great. But the reason these books never made my list of favorites was because the writing really wasn't anything special. J.K Rowling's voice is just... boring to me and doesn't draw me in nearly as much as it should.Good idea, mediocre writing.And I wouldn't read them again...   hide

OMG!! first, all seven have been released!! Second, all the books are SO PERFECT!! They're the best thing ever, I wish I could have amnesia just so I could read them again for the first time, feel the excitment again!! WOW! If anybody has NOT read them yet, RUN to the closest bookstore and grab all seven now!! You'll appreciate this advice once you've read them! I mean I've read each like a HUNDRED time and still enjoy them.. Harry Potter's just a part of me..   hide

What can you say? Haha. Everyone loves Harry Potter, and that includes me too! I love it how JK Rowling has developed her books, her characters and her wonderful magic world. I have read the Harry Potter series over and over and each time I finish, I feel more and more jealous of such an amazing existense doesn't take place in the real world. I am not a fan of the movies though. Just the books. And I really do hope JK Rowling would write new novels and keep her fan base going.   hide

Love to read the Harry Potter Series over and over again because I love to become a part of the world JK Rowling has created with such attention to detail. The strength of the series for me is the way in which all 7 books are connected by so many intricate details. I appreciate the depth of the plot, and the skill of the writing, when I read Book 7 and am able to then appreciate something new about Book 1. Possibly my favorite part of the series is the understated wit with which it is written--something that will never translate successfully into the films.   hide
