Was it the characters?, the action? the unique storyline? What made you a fan? What kept you a fan? What is it that makes this series of book such an enertaining ride?

I liked the special effects and the magic theme. The characters were great too. I am not a diehard fan but I do enjoy watching the movies.

I liked the magical theme too. And the characters. What did you enjoy most about them?

I haven't read any of the books and I know that books are usually better than the movies. There may be entire things about the characters that I have missed. I suppose I liked the way their friendship was depicted.

i enjoyed each and every thing about it. the characters, the uniqueness of the story itself, the thrill, the unpredictable events, every thing on it is perfectly well created. that's why i consider j.k. rowling as one of the genius writers that ever existed.

Unique and unpradictable. That would be it. Thanks.

She described everything well. The characters seemed real after a short period of time. Her imagination for things like the great hall was amazing. You cared about the people. It was fun to see moving newspapers and buses or train stations or houses shrink to fit and expand. Plus each book had more characters, more powers, more things to overcome. The twists and turns, the relationships, everything from scenery to mythical characters, etc. done well.

She did have quite a imagination didn't she. And she had a very good way of describing her world. I envy her that.

I don't know if the storyline was that unique, "Boy Wizard defeats Dark Lord", but I enjoyed the characters, I thought it was well written, and it was original enough to keep me interested. The last book wandered a LOT though.

So it was mostly the characters for you? And it was original. Did the last book bring everything together or not?

as for me the whole thing is a wonderful fantasy to get into. i guess it might be when Harry found out he could speak to snakes. oh how many times ive wished i could understand such creatures and not be mortally afraid of them. i just loved the whole series and i think it was great that i introduced one of my grandsons to aquiring a real taste for reading back then when he was only 9yrs. this is how he got into it.

A wonderful fantasy it was. It really took you in and I think that is what a good book or series should do. Could speak to snakes, eh? Cool. It is nice that you were able to interest your grandson. I wish there was one now that I could get my grandson interested in. He will watch Harry Potter but not read it. Wonder if there is any new kid's books he would be interested in? Hmmm
