Yeah, but I re-read them. Over... and over. Love them a lot.

I don't have the books. I took them one by one from my aunt which now isn't my aunt anymore and she moved so...no HP. My favorite books are 5, 6, and 7.

Actually, I almost hate when I read a good book that I can't put down. I don't want to do a damn thing but find out what happens. But I also hate when great stories end.

I hate boring books. I prefer books about Mafia and organized crime in general.

I think everyone's are. The story's more developed, and interesting. Half-Blood Prince is the best, in my opinion.

I tend to take them all as one whole story, just like different chapters.  Granted, the writing became more involved as the books went along, but that's the way with good stories in general, characters and plot development get more involved the farther you go.

Books are the total opposite of movies. Books get better as they progress, where movies suck as new versions surface.

What pisses me off about that is they issue 'remakes' of perfectly good movies and ruin them.

Funny thing, HP started out as a children's book and ended as an adult book.

Exactly. The series started when I was about 8 years old, an now they're just releasing the last movie!

Rowling needed 5 years to write the first Harry Potter book!

There's some things you just can't rush.

I actually have a few ideas for some stories in my head. I'll probably never write them, though.

I like writing. I tried writing western stories and Mafia stories, but I'm simply not mature enough for them.
