I was one of the few strange people who didn't "love" Harry Potter. I obviously respect Rowling and the success she achieved. How many countless people did she get into reading through her books? It truly is amazing. So, in that sense, I respect Harry Potter. <br /><br />The story is in the perfect setting for children as well. What bored elementary school child wouldn't love to go to a school of magic? Rowling also did have some really interesting ideas, but for some reason I still felt gypped when I'd finished the series. Were my expectations too high? Undoubtedly. How could they not be after seeing all the rage for nigh on a decade?<br /><br />As far as the story goes, it is a typical hero's journey. My biggest disappointment as I read the books was actually Harry. He never seemed to change. He was the same boy from book one to book seven, except for at the very end when he accepted his "destiny" and defeated Voldemort. If a deeper character development was there, then I missed it completely. <br /><br />Then again, who am I to criticize the most popular series of books ever written?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048476789547355090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917328764825378054.post-35484331911267997642011-07-26T12:42:05.121-07:002011-07-26T12:42:05.121-07:00I've loved the series from the beginning and t...I've loved the series from the beginning and to pick the thing I love the most is very difficult. The characters of Harry, Ron and Hermione each drew me in for different reasons. I must say that for me the real love started the first time Rowling walked me down Diagon Alley. The magical world was a facinating place to escape to. Love, loyalty, hatred and vengence all lived in the magical world with real life consequences. I thought HP 7.2 was a great film. They did a great job.Diva Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07212847651776831475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917328764825378054.post-65893720504815142402011-07-25T22:07:17.251-07:002011-07-25T22:07:17.251-07:00I have also fallen in love with the boy who lived....I have also fallen in love with the boy who lived. It is the classic idea of one struggling to overcome and the courage to move forward even when you would rather hold still. I love the series in books and movies and while I too am sad to see the movies end I left this last movie with a feeling that my friends from Hogwarts are living on in a happy world. :) Loved your post!!!!SmallAdventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993267241606514697noreply@blogger.com
