Does anyone here LOVES Harry Potter books or I am the only one?

I just never got into them. Nor the Narnia series.

But Tolkien I love.

Go figure.

Oh! I have never heard of it before. But I'll surely read it if it is good

Start with the Hobbit is my suggestion. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Thanks, I'll go to that

Yes I love Harry Potter!!! The Half-Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows are my two favs. But I do agree with Kevin..... I love Narnia as well, J.R.R. Tolkien actually not so much though they are good.

Really? Me too!! I think that half blood Prince is the best and after that is the deathly hallows!!

I was a huge Harry Potter fan as a kid. I read all the books several times, even listening to one book on cassette and reading another! I can still answer the odd Potter question in a pub quiz, and enjoy reminiscing with other Potter fans, but I'd never reread them. The writing isn't great, and there's no point rereading it all with an adult reader's eye - I'd just be disappointed. It should be left in the past, as the wonderful imaginary children's world it is. It's a fantastic children's book and JK Rowling did wonders for encouraging reading amongst kids.

I don't think it's necessarily a children's series.....there are some powerful themes of love and hope and sacrifice in there that are applicable to adults and kids alike

Dumbledore is an amazing character, and Snape is definitely my favorite, because he's such a strong, self-sacrificial character. It's your choice if you want to read it again or not, but I'd definitely recommend that you do- you might be surprised.

I didn't end up liking the movies that much. The best part was Snape's memories in Deathly Hallows pt. 2, I ended up crying during that sequence

I'm a Harry Potter fan. Proud Ravenclaw here!

I suspect that many LVers would be sorted into Ravenclaw. What with the reading for fun and all.

Signed,

Yet another Ravenclaw

I agree with you, mightyfelix.

Yes, I'm definitely a Ravenclaw, but actually my personality is probably more Hufflepuff

Kristine1990 · Post by **Kristine1990** » September 18th, 2020, 7:45 pm

So you're a HuffleClaw JayKitty.

I guess you could say that

I do like the "sweet" personality that Hufflepuffs are supposed to have, but I took the official test and it said I was a Ravenclaw (maybe the fact that I'd choose to make a love potion out of all the possible potions, or the fact that I'm a huge reader.) Or I suppose the combination could be called a Ravenpuff

But my best friend did tell me I was mostly Slytherin, so.....
