Well what to say about the series, at first i refused to read it (mostly because my teacher at school was forcing us to and I was a REBEL). Though as time past I found myself looking forward to seeing the next movie come out each year, I was only able to buy 3 of the books none of which were in order, but they have quickly become my favorites: Goblet of fire, Half-blood prince, and the philosophers stone. I often found myself at odds with harry for the main fact that he was rarely able to accomplish anything with out the constant guidance of his friends and teachers, and that he was very stubborn when it came to learning from the past. But at the end I think I found myself rooting for the other characters like longbottom and shamus, simply because I thought they developed more as the story progressed. In the end the harry potter series has made me get back into reading, which I must say is no easy task working 2 jobs to pay off student loans and getting home at 10pm; but I still make sure I have time to read before going to bed. So Harry potter turned out to be much better than I thought and really inspirational for me
