    Oh go on...I dare ya.

    Read at least the first one. Its short so you could finish it in a day.

    And THEN you can judge...or praise.

    That's a shame... forever you shall be missing out on why everyone is going on and on about Harry Potter... when the film comes out, you won't go and see it and marvel at it's subtle brilliance like the rest of us and forever shall be sidelined by your ignorance of it's genius.... ;)

    Well.. I guess as long as you're happy living without Harry Potter to lighten your life, then I guess that's the main thing!

    I agree it's not original..a little bit of C.S Lewis and little bit of Tolkin a little bit of Dahl..but if you're been picky Star Wars is the biggest bit of palagrism in the 20th Century..

    For what reason, Ben?

    You think LOTR is the be all and end all yet I think its a pile of flowery pap yet I am still willing to give it a go to see what all the hype is about.

    LOL! I can't believe it. Ya'll have nothing better to do than fight over books?!

    So, finished the first two.

    A couple of things.

    I like it. I mean, it's not Tolstoy but I couldn't put the damn things down. And his aunt and uncle! UGH! WHEN do they die? Or get turned into pugs?

    Apprently it will make more sense as the books proceed..but Dumblebore put a spell on the Dursley house on Privet Drive so Voldamort couldn't attack him there..

    I'll leave it at that I don't want to spoil the rest of the books for you...

    Oh, guess that makes sense. But you'd think he could put a spell on a nice wizard hotel instead!

    I get the feeling Tolstoy wouldn't have such universal appeal... ;)

    And yeah.. the Dursleys are bad, but it works quite well... you'll like what happens in the next two! ;)
