    Hey i read the first harry potter book in 3rd grade. i read all the damn books by the third one i was reading every single book in under 24 hours. So don't get me wrong I read all the books. And fine books they are too. But they are children's books and I don't buy into all the mania regarding them. Also Potter's character progressed into a more and more annoying protagonist. Like really you think your capable of going toe to toe with one of the two greatest wizards ever and you haven't graduated yet?

    Also i dislike how many stupid people are so proud of their accomplishments in reading this book its pathetic to see people parading the fact that they read this series when it is the only book they read in their lives.

    You sound rather grumpy. Me I rather enjoy the novels, in particular the way Rowling has used English to actual effect. It's fun to read the actual text, not just the storyline itself. Particularly the way she used stichomythia with Fred & George.

    Indeed, there is this delicate sensitivity to her English, don't really know to put it but she has a great sense of humor. It's lost in the movies imho but they are entertaining nonetheless. Casting is excellent especially, all perfect for their role. I will never get enough of Alan Rickman, fun actor
