The Harry Potter series are one of the worst written books of all time, rivaling even Michael Cricton's storytelling "skills". BUT, yes a big fucking but, while these books hardly stand another round of reading them fully from cover to cover, they have created an OK universe of magic and other shit, that you and I will all be able to enjoy for one time and one time only. I've read every book and seen four movies, and I've come to realise that reading Potter is like being addicetd to crack, but then going to rehab immediately after that. You don't want that shit nowhere near you again, even if you enjoyed it the first time.
