I have never actually read any Happy Potter but have already decided that i never want to - i know this is unreasonable as everyone (par some few here) that HAS read it says its great. Perhaps its the hype but i have no desire to read any whatsoever - there are other books i would much rather read like War and Peace, Crime and Punishment and The Bible - and those are just for starters

Life is long...if you spend enough time reading, you may have time for HP eventually.

I have never read the books, don't plan on reading them (too much Tolkien to read-have to finish the Histories!). But the movies have a very good plot and are very entertaining!

The thing with Harry Potter is unlike most series of literature (yet not unlike the Lord of the Rings), is that each book is somewhat better than the previous one. The last book really is gold (IMO it is quite a considerable amount better than it predecessor), however to understand the rather complicated plot you really need to have read all the previous books.
It's a shame because the first two or three (or rather four) were really marketed at children but towards the end of the series JKR employed a writing style more suited to adults. She even slipped in a few naughty words. |

I do hate Harry Potter, but not the first or second book though, I love it except the other books.

Are you serious? They have sloppy plots and a writing style made for children. They take over a year of little happening until the end when, coincidentally they destroy one of Voldemort's plots.
The Deathly Hallows however has a superior writing style and a deep plot; filled with action from beginning to end, unsuspected twists and great character developments. |
