has anyone read the harry potter series if so should i read them?

I think the answers on link might help you.

But outside of the Twilight context, Harry Potter is a joy to read. It's true that it might be slightly overhyped, but it's still worth your time to explore. JK Rowling's world is intricate and exciting, and I highly recommend this book to a reader of any age, but especially people who are just whetting their literary appetite. Harry Potter can serve as a "gateway drug" to other great books and get kids hooked on reading-- in a good way! It actually worked for my cousin, who read the Harry Potter books when she was ten, and was reading Jane Austin by fourteen. But if you ask her, she'll tell you that, being one of her first favorite books, she still adores Harry Potter.

I think that, other than quality, it might be a good idea to read the books because they're popular, and sometimes great conversation starters. I've had long talks about the Harry Potter themes with people I just met sometimes.

Like I said on the other answer, Harry Potter is not the best series in the world-- but it is still a fun, magical story filled with interesting themes and characters that will keep you turning pages way into the wee small hours of the morning.

Who HASN'T read Harry Potter? Trust me, it is the most incredible series you will ever read. If you doubt me, just ask anyone over ten years old what they think.
Once you read the first book, you'll become a Potterhead. My suggestion is to read each book, and watch the movie right after the book. Also, stay in communication with a Potterhead (such as myself) while you are reading and watching. Said Potterhead can explain tricky plot points or the more obscure stuff.
Once you become a Potterhead, declare it. You should also watch a GOOD parody. I recommend Starkid's parody. Being a Potterhead is a very good thing. Welcome to the Potterhead generation.

U shouldnt read it.. Unless u like books with wizards and soceries and magic. I do not suggest it.

Yeh, Harry potter is a great read. It's got a real good story line and you'll be reading them for a while. Definately worth reading.

yes they are worth reading not intellectual though they will not grip you so much if you are over 13

YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOKS ; TO MUCH GOT LEFT OUT IN THE MOVIES .

YES!!!! my friends convinced me to read it and i was so obsessed i just recently finished and now i'm watching the movies for the first time

I think That the harry potter series is amazing! Her writing is nearly magical, the way you see everything so vividly. I feel that people who have not yet read these books are being robbed of a great treasure. They're fun to read out loud too, and no matter how old you are, everyone seems to enjoy them. I most definitely think you should! I hope you choose to read them, and eat up the words!

I've read the Harry Potter series. Yes,you should read them,they are amazing.

i have read all of the books. it is a wonderful enchanting series. anyone who likes fantasy, mystery, action, romance, and suspense.

my review of each book goes like this.

harry potter and the sorceress stone is also called harry is a dork. it is about him finding out about the magical world. there is also a twist you do not see coming.

harry potter and the chamber of secrets is also known as harry is less of a dork but Ron is a dork. with more ghosts potions and something no one knew about harry.
that is my take on the first 2. if you need more info on the other 5 books let me no.
