Oh, I thought that was going to be a spoof of the Harry Potter films.
I've never seen any (or read any of the books). Am I missing out?? |

Some of the books are very good, others have intensely boring sections. I enjoyed the experience of reading them with my son.
As for the thread title, we've always called him "Harold" Potter. Just our sense of humour I suppose. |

| I loved the books Twirls. I read most of them in 24 hours, even the longer ones. The films are okay, they don't hold a candle to the books but the acting has been wonderful. I do highly recommend the books and I think if you enjoy that kind of literature you are missing out. It's for all ages. |

| Okay - I guess I'll be looking out for them. Anyone know the reading order of the books? |

I'm not sure of the order, but you can get pdfs of the books from here, along with a load of other stuff.

Each book should have the year on the side 1-7 but the order is
Philosopher's Stone (Sorcerer's Stone)
Chamber of Secrets
Prisoner of Azkaban (my favorite)
Goblet of Fire
Order of the Phoenix
Half Blood Prince
Deathly Hallows |

| I, too, loved them, both books and movies. Well worth the time invested to read them. The last book got a little slow, but overall, I thought it a really good series. |

I agree Spurs. I liked the last book but I felt it was a bit slow. I think part of that was her wanting to make sure everything was covered and partially knowing it was saying good bye to Harry and many other characters. |
