I've read most of the series - I enjoyed the earlier books more that the books later in the series. I think the beginning ones were just some fun fiction, the later ones seemed to have some sort of different undercurrent running through them. They just had a different "feel" to them - don't know if that makes any sense to you.

I agree, Dobie. I think the later books were more "dark" than the first two. But I enjoyed every one of them, and even stood in line at midnight one time to get mine!!! I guess you could say I'm a total Potterhead!!!

i enjoyed those books so much! loved the words and all...the "owls" and all of her imagination...i'm convinced there is a magical world that we can't see....and i always knew Snape was a good guy.

yep there is a world you cant see!!!!

many christian groups came out against these books as "softening " the edge of occult activities. I know we are all adults. Do any of you think these books have made magic/witchcraft more mainstream for kids?

What I don't understand is, some people condemned these books (probably without even reading them) because there is witchcraft. Well, what about The Wizard of Oz?!!! I distinctly remember a good witch AND a bad witch. I just don't get what all the controversy is about.

so what about banning science fiction? fantasy? snow white and that talking magic mirror? no singing mother goose songs?
no, it's no more mainstream than it was. santa, tooth fairy, easter bunny are all magic too. ban them?
i think there is a lot of inconsistency in the rreligious right.
