So now that the last and (supposedly) final Harry Potter movie is out, I am contemplating reading the books. I read the first one maybe three years ago and wasn't impressed enough to read any more. I have also not more than a few of the trailers of any of the movies so I feel like I have the unique ability to go into the entire series somewhat blind. (I am not even positive how many books there are) After the last year of "reading with intention" I feel like I did a pretty good job of reading books that were mostly literarily (no, not actually a word) stimulating instead of guilty pleasure reads (although there were a few of those as well). Children's/ Young Adult fantasy is my closet guilty pleasure. That being said... dare I undertake such a colossal commitment as the Harry Potter Series? For those of you who have read some or all or even watched the movies- let me know!
Avery- I don't know that you have to bother with your opinion =)
And just because I love reading...

hahaha Jessye! Thanks for the shout out ;)
READ THEM! I honestly think they have literary merit. For an author to have enough control over a story to span a seven book series is pretty impressive. I could go on and on...but I won't :) But yeah...read them, and then we can talk about them!
And by the way, there's another movie coming out...part 2 of the finale!
totally read them! they won't blow your mind with their depth and literaryness but they are entertaining. If anything, it will keep you from having to find a new book to read for awhile. I wouldn't really bother with the movies, especially the first 2.
Don't do it! Nothing good will come of it!
I haven't read any of them... for no particular reason. Ben has read them all and enjoys picking one up as a nice break from his normal reading material. He thinks the later books are better if that's any help.
