Seriously, I once tried the Accio spell on my cell phone and was annoyed when I realized I wasn't advanced enough to do non-verbal spells and needed my wand.

They were written in the 90s, when critical discourse about inclusion and diversity wasn't a mainstream demand as it is now. Most strikingly, there is no sex; in Harry Potter, which is supposed to be about fairly normal teens, no one masturbates, no girls get pregnant, none of them are labelled sluts because they've had sex with more than one boy (sometimes one is enough, for that matter), no one gets their heart broken and drops out of school or starts taking drugs as a result, no one is stuck in a dead-end relationship that they wish they could escape from, but can't. While I love the 2nd book, it's not everyone's favorite, so if you like it enough, read the 3rd which is many people's favorite.Thus, Rowling turns off the realism and starts writing fantasy, and this is where she completely grabbed me.

Harry Potter would have not appealed to me so much to if there were seven Philosopher's Stone-like books. Also, if you're still not convinced of how much of a hopeless groupie I am, one time I got really drunk on red wine and I ended up sobbing (LEGIT sobbing) because I actually ached from not being at Hogwarts.They had that "it" factor where you can't put it down and you can't stop thinking about when you do. Discover magical places, study wandlore, encounter fantastic beasts and find out about the witches and wizards who lived in The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac. I would like to offer my apologies to these unfortunate people, who had every right to expect better service from Goodreads.

So it seemed incredible and wrong that I only had a rating, and no review for these books, not when they're so important to me. Rowling created a whole new magical world, very detailed and ingenious, which kept going for seven books with the same quality.Rowling was facing a new wave of fans and children who wanted visibility, inclusion, and diversity among the characters. The book is clean (minus one well-placed swear word in the 7th book which is written at a 17-year-old level).

Because of this, there was never more than a year or so difference between my age and the ages of the characters I was reading about. Right before the last installment came out, I went to the public library and checked out the first book in the series, and didn't stop until I had closed the final one. I think it's uncontroversial that Potter, in terms of literary quality, is better than Twilight, but Twilight has been even more successful. Ever since I was in elementary school, I have always loved reading, and yet at some point, and I forgot how, I suddenly stopped. I felt the need of taking away a star just because to reflect the high levels of stress that I suffered while reading this book.

K. Rowling's classic series in a spectacular alternating colour scheme, with cover artwork and illustrations by celebrated Kate Greenaway Medal winner Levi Pinfold. My children and I became avid fans of Harry Potter, and we went to the midnight book launchings of Books 6 and 7.
