If one wishes to occasionally traverse the world we live in & find solace in a realm full of magical fantasy, love & friendship, & life lessons as well, there couldn't be a better series than Harry Potter: it bestows entry to a word that my flair for imagination could never have allowed me to reach. Moreover, what makes it different from other series is the vast difference b/w the age range of Potterheads; ranging from 8 years olds to their parents. You can the read a brief review to the complete series here- https://thezest4read.site/harry-potte...
The series was and still is incredible, if you are a potterhead from the films, PLEASE READ THESE BOOKS, it is amazing, there is so much material from the books that there isn't in the films. There is one downside however, much like the films, in my opinion, the Chamber of Secrets is just not as good! In my opinion, the Chamber of Secrets could be scrapped completely and not a lot of plot will be missed..
*SPOILER*
All you will need to know is that he fought tom riddle (Voldemort) and defeated the first horcrucx ; the diary of Tom Riddle
It's not like the world needs yet another commentary on the obsessively compelling world of Harry Potter, but given that I was strangely immersed in its fanfiction, I felt induced to give myself the antidote by reading the actual books. That accomplished in seven days, one book per day, did work as the hair of the dog. Quite grueling was this reading marathon too, and why I took a reading break afterwards in order to catch up on much needed sleep.
What I came out of the books was a deeper understanding of how such a plethora of fanfiction came into being, and the obsession -- less of Lord Voldemort (even though one would think that there would be a ton of fanfiction of the different ways to conquer this snakey dude) but a ton of even lesser mentioned Slytherins, until it seemed almost as though it were the favored house and not the bias towards Gryffindor in the original books. Why?
Well, for the simple reason that Slytherins were characters of much more depth than most of the other characters… main ones included. One of the most compelling ones, Snape, turned out to have a seething mass of contradictions and emotions, the unsung hero. (Alas, everyone forgot how unpleasant and unhygienic he was for most of the books.) Another favorite would have to be the rebellious Sirius Black, who never got to reach any sort of potential at all. Sure, he was placed in Gryffindor, but coming from a family of Slytherins, that said a bit of his complexity on its own. Then, there's my favorite unsung hero, his brother, Regullus Black, who never lived during the time of the book, yet managed to do one of most brave and dramatic turnabouts. For some readers, there's a compelling draw to these prodigal sons -- far more than lie in the never say die, bold as brass, what you say is what you get forever more Gryffindors.
And I think that's the draw of the most popular two fanfiction couples, Hermione x Draco and Draco x Harry.
Just from the books, though, I have to say at the outset that there's more material for Draco x Harry than the sparse interactions between Hermione and Draco. But that's one of the most popular couplings, not because, as Rowling thought, of the draw of the actor, but from the potential his character evokes from the books themselves. He's the only young Slytherin that the readers get to know well. He's handsome, aristocratic, wealthy, arrogant, ambitious, and even does well in school (enough to be noted for Potions and to be made Prefect). To top it all off, he's the biggest bastard and bully there ever lived...due to his cold-hearted father. What I've just described is the complete profile of almost every Harlequin hero and most YA crushes. The final straw to this hot mess of sexiness is his oh-so-endearing inability to kill Dumbledore when it came down to the crunch, thus showing the requisite hero's vulnerability and softness of heart.
Seriously, why not Hermione and Harry, right? Only from the viewpoint of genetics, though, because those two would have made some crazy talented wizarding kids. But it's clear that Harry, having much too much his mind from the outset, wasn't that deep when it came to girls. He chose…essentially the two prettiest girls in school, who were both, incidentally, popular and athletic. Poor nerdy socially awkward, do-gooding Hermione…who was the one every girl envisioned herself… especially any girl who finished Order of the Phoenix, which was kind of a hot mess of a book.
Seriously, though, was it the idea of these four founders to split up the school into four divisions, with one group (Hufflepuff) for all the stragglers? That's pretty terrible for morale from the outset. Grouping all the headstrong, impetuous people together (Gryffindor) also doesn't seem like a great idea. Nor was putting together all the really ambitious, power-hungry and potentially backstabbing people (Slytherin). And yet, it didn't seem like all the Slytherins were very ambitious…or maybe serving as a Malfoy lackey was the extent of their ambition. Doesn't this grouping (that seems to follow them through the rest of their days) seem slightly… Divergent to you? (By that, I know this came before that series, but because of all the criticisms that came with the grouping.)
Oh, yeah, and another thing. What was the deal with everyone supporting Dumbledore all the way? It's like he was a wizarding Messiah or something. It was mildly disturbing and he was slightly overrated.

Books 1-5 are a fun ride for anyone looking for a family friendly, very addictive reading adventure. Some books are definitely better than others, but I do feel the whole series is fairly consistent in it's quality. This set is missing the last two books, which coincidently are some of the best of the series, but this would be a great purchase for anyone looking to get into Harry Potter.
