But I just finished reading the Harry Potter series. I thoroughly enjoyed them, probably because it was easy reading making them easy to pick up and easy put down. I can see why kids get engrossed in them though, there are so many aspects that just about everyone could relate to (adult and child alike).
I can’t help but feel that the movies detract from the books. The movies give you faces to the characters which meant (for me) that I put less into forming images of the characters myself.
But, all in all, worth the read. I need to find something else now and that’s the bit I don’t like about reading, finding the next book…
