by J.K.Rowling
Yes. Just look at them. Beautiful, aren't they?
Now, I know that just about everyone in the world who intends to read Harry Potter already has, and that the rest of the world resents the hype. Nevertheless, I will take a moment here to congratulate J.K.Rowling. Sometimes things are popular for a reason.
This is my favorite book series in the world. That makes me terribly unique, I know. Harry Potter is original, creative, and provides an entire elaborate world to get into. But I like it best of all for the writing style. Rowling's writing is humorous and captures the teenage mindset very well, as I ought to know.
On the off chance you don't know the storyline: orphaned Harry Potter, raised by his uncharitable and unmagical aunt and uncle, learns on his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard. And not just any wizard: he somehow defeated the greatest Dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort, at the tender age of one, after his parents were murdered by Voldemort. Harry heads off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he meets his best friends Ron and Hermione and the school's respected headmaster Albus Dumbledore. But even Dumbledore's protection may not be enough when Lord Voldemort, barely alive, makes repeated attempts to return, wreak revenge on Harry, and conquer the Wizarding world.
For: teens and adults
Genre: Fantasy
Content rating: 4/5 Some violence, a few swear words, and dark magic. If the latter bothers you a lot...don't read the books. Naturally, the series gets darker in later books as Harry gets older and Voldemort gains power.
My enjoyment rating: 5/5
