OK...probably almost pointless to put a review of the Harry Potter books out here...but nonetheless.
If you haven't read these books yet, you should. I would say these are going to be one of the biggest pop culture icons of this part of the century. What Star Wars was to those of us growing up in the 80s - Harry Potter is to those growing up in the 2000s.
The books are quite cleverly written. The writing is surprisingly good, with lots of little puns within professor names and such. They're long - but very fast reads.
The books do get a bit darker as the series moves along...but you'll be so hooked after the first book you won't be able to put them down.
