What are your opinions on it? Did you all read the last book? Questions, comments, concerns? I am a huge Harry Potter fan.

Harry Potter is LIFE! I've read the last book around 8 times now. If you count the others around 12 each. I just love everything about it.

I've read 5 of the books and only seen one movie. I'm going to buy the box set of hardcovers, but I don't really care to see any of the movies. So, yea, I think it's awesome.

Books are far better than the movies. Though my boyfriend will disagree.

I despise Harry Potter so much its not even funny. Think about how much you hate the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Soulja Boy. Well, put that hate together, multiply it by 100 and put it to the power of the hate contained in Satan's heart. All that equals 0.01% of how much I hate Harry Potter :x

P.S. Im not trolling! He asked me what I thought of Harry Potter! *Waits to be reported* :P

I think its worthless trash. The writing is atrocious, the story lame and cheesy, the characters are obnoxious. Everything about the book just pisses me off. Then comes the movies and then the overhype and popularity of the entire series. I know a lot of people hate things just because they are popular, but this isnt the case here. Harry Potter is the "Twilight" of wizardry in my opinion. Its sub-standard material that is overly popular. Just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

I read all the books, and watched all the movies except the half blood prince, and looking back it seemed like just a big Disney teen movie. Also I think J.K. Rowling pulled all of the story out of her ass as she was writing it. For me it was just so so.

I enjoy the series for what it is. Simple, fun entertainment. I also recognize the fact that they've gotten a lot of children into more advanced reading, so thats commendable.

Meh, I can see the appeal and they are decent books. However I do think they are a bit over-rated, espeacilly the movies.

I like the story by it, although it did became dark in the later ones but, things do need to evolve time to time.

I haven't read the HBP and i read it and finsh it two weeks before the movie came out.

I still need to read the last one

I was a big fan of the books up until I read Deathly Hallows, now I'm not so sure. That book was jammed full of flaws and lazy resolutions. I don't even have any desire to reread them, knowing the disappointing way in which it all ends.

Bit of a conundrum to answer. They started off well but then I think with all the hype JK got a bit too overconfident in her ability to tell the story and the books became too long and obviously not edited. Overall I did enjoy the series though I think the last four books needed cut....severely. As long as you don't think too much about the mistakes the author made in finishing the tale it is an easy read. The movies have been entertaining. I'm curious to see what they do with the last book.

-Easy reading -cliche story that gave me various deja-vu moments -characters were fairly unlikable -decent plot progression and writing. Standard fare fantasy book. Nothing good about it, but nothing incredibly bad either(aside from how overblown it got...there's no reason for there to be a Harry Potter class in any university but there is).

Considering the HP books are meant for easy reading, I'm basically just bringing it into context. It's not batshat insane progression that's incredibly non-linear, and it's not 5-year old's picturebook easy. It's predictable and easy to follow, geared to its audience. She stumbled a bit in the final 3 books or so with some real shoddy stuff(especially the last book) but for the most part it was relatively streamlined, which is a plus in her situation.

From what I read, the Lord of the Rings is a far better choice if they wanted to both educate and attract more students.

Not that I think that LotR should be a lesson on its own. >___>
