i feel like such a nerd but these books are REALLY well written. i'm currently reading book 5 and i'm almost done. i literally cannot wait to see what happens next. (my house is a mess right now which disgusts me to no end.)

i am amazed at jk rowlings' mind and how she allowed the story to grow. she really is a talented writer. they're very imaginative and there are a ton of subplots and analogies that the average kid (and probably adult) won't catch.

has anyone else read these books or am i alone in this?

Yep, they are good books. I think the writing gets better as the series progresses

I saw a snippet of one of the movies and I can only imagine that the books must be very well written.

I like JK's personal story of how these books came about and what her whole life situation was like at the time she created Harry Potter. Its a real example of how you can take lemons and make lemonade...just using what you already have - whether its tangible or not - to create the life you really want.
