Ive read the first 6 and I love it, if i'm ever worried this is what I go to. This is a place where I can totally escape and make reading so much fun!!! Another reason I love these books is because it is so easy to just fall in love with these charecters and Hogwarts!
I love rereading this series. So incredibly immersive. This time I'm playing wizards unite and I noticed all the details that I have read over in the past. Potion ingredients, the names of games they play Gobstone set, names of the creatures. The game makers drew out lots of the details. It was fun to play and read.
A great series about friendship and mentor-ship where Harry and many of the other characters experienced trauma in their childhood and faced choices about whether to do good or evil.
Undoubtedly, this is one of my most favorite books series. It's also the one that's most influential to me. I got into reading -- and fandom! -- because of it. After all these years, I still adore it and I've even two Harry Potter tattoos etched indelibly on my skin to prove it. : )
The world of Harry Potter is filled with things that just don't add up, at some point this floating pile just starts degrading the creative merits and prevents any further enhancement of the reader's world perception.
I'm not talking about credibility, obviously, but the painfully failing synergy between the fantastic elements. The force that keeps together the discworld or the forgotten realms... is simply absent here. It's apparent that the base premises struggle to support the scale to which this story has grown. And THEN come the legion of fans who step up and try to fix this profoundly feable work. Pathetic.
I enjoyed the book for its worth but this "phenomenon" drives me up the wall. I only hope these people's new-found enthusiasm for the genre spills quickly from this shallow cup into goblets of truer fire.
obviously an iconic series. THIS IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE I THINK ABOUT THIS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY as i said, it had a lasting impact on me. just making it clear i do NOT support the authors personal opinions but i do enjoy the series
