Well... For many, this is a sensitive topic... But I just like it... I'm curious what others think about this series.

P.S.: If anyone hasn't read it but wants to, I can help... But only through PM... :p ;)

Because that's not an option at all, as anyone interested in the world around them should at least familiarize themselves with such a widespread (even social) phenomenon.
Greek tragedy disguised as fantasy, a classic of modern English literature, and simply an unpredictable and interesting plot – that's all about Harry Potter. And I know what I'll be doing all day on July 21st. Reading, reading, and reading the seventh book again.

I'll support Arandor – because I haven't read it and don't plan to:D.
For some, it's a classic, and for others, it's garbage – there are many opinions, and they are all different...:cool:

I've read 5 books, but I don't feel like reading the 6th one. It has an amazing atmosphere, and sometimes the plot really draws you in, when you think something interesting is about to happen, but then it doesn't... It's a strange feeling I have about this book. On one hand, it's interesting, but on the other hand, the plot is so simple and lacks any interesting twists, even though they appear occasionally. Often, you get the feeling that something is about to start... I don't know, I have mixed feelings about these books.

You know, Saruman, you have very strange feelings. I, for example, never experience any narrative interest when reading. I already know in advance how and what everything will end with. The only exception is the books by Rowling. And if you lack action, there's a lot of cheap fantasy waiting for you, like "The Wandering Mage." But Greek tragedies don't imply bloodshed.
For some, it's a classic, and for others, it's trash - there are many opinions, and they all differ...

If I find someone who says they've read J. Joyce, H. Hesse, G. Marquez, and J. Rowling, I might consider reading HP... For now, I'm inclined to believe that all the hype surrounding the book is a very clever PR campaign by highly skilled professionals...

And, I think, magic was involved... :)

P.s. I read the first volume, about halfway through...

Are Marquez, Mann, Machiavelli, and Rowling enough?

Why isn't there an option for "none"? I haven't read them, but I've watched all the movies that were made. And I'm planning to go see the new one. The premiere seems to be on July 19th.

I don't think that everyone interested in the surrounding world should read and watch this... everyone reads it and I'll read it too <_< ... and generally, I'm not very into children's fairy tales, to be honest... )

As for authors, of those I've read, I like Robert Jordan with the Wheel of Time series. Now that is a truly interesting plot, unlike other fantasy worlds. The author conveys the atmosphere of what's happening very well... and there are more books, although quantity isn't always quality ))

You say children's stories. Hmm. I would say not-so-children's stories. The first book about Harry Potter came to me when I was 19, and that one might be for children. But the further you go, the more it's for adults, very adult people. So, try reading Tove Jansson or The Golden Key, or The Wizard of Oz (not to be confused with Volkov) now. You might be very surprised.

A book is always better. I personally don't really like movies, but I find books quite enjoyable.
