I've kept up with the Harry Potter series but it's been a while since I've read the first book. It's a readable book but seems wholey focused on children rather than adults. The chocolate frogs and banqueting scenes are examples of this. This isn't a bad thing, it is a children's book, but ideally I'd like something behind the fun and games as well. The series is obviously going to be around for a while. I'll be interested to see how it's doing in twenty years time when it's child readers are having kids of their own.

The final instalment of Potter. I've always felt these books were like pop corn, easy to eat and not much substance. I finished it in a day or so. It did have some interesting twists in the end but they spend a bit too long in a tent in the middle.
