  I held out on the Harry Potter books for many reasons that range from the simple fact that they were never available in the library to my preconcieved notions that there were "kids" books. I finally picked them up, and I am very happy that I did. Rowling is a superb writer. For me, a good writer knows what the heck a semicolon is and is able to sum up an entire image in one sentence.

I look forward to books 5-7, because I have not seen the movie version of these yet. I would recommend this series to anyone, even pretention, English teachers like myself. (show less)

  Harry is 11 years old and has grown up on lies. He has lived with his Muggle realitives. He was told that they died in a car crash. But a man named Lord Voldemort murdured his parents and tried to kill Harry, but failed and disappeared.

  Now he is going of to a magical school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn more about the magic world. He tends to struggle with his life because, he is popular, and he doesn't know a lot about the wizarding world.

  Lately, there have been strange acurrences that have happened. Someone has broken into Gringotts, the worlds most safest, magical, bank in the world. A troll broke into the school, and... what was in that box Hagrid got in vault 713? (show less)
