Harry Potter

Quite a while back, a friend gave me the second, third, and fourth Harry Potter books. Well, I finally went out and bought the first one so that I could read the others. I read book one yesterday and book two today. I am not a big fantasy fan, but this was nice light reading. The books are fun and well written. Really, they reminded be a good bit of the Hardy Boys books that I enjoyed as a child. It's a group of friends off on different adventures trying to solve the mysteries that the adults can't seem to figure out. But they're more fun than the Hardy Boys because of the magic and wizardry. I never really felt like I wasn't reading a children's book, but that didn't detract from the fun of the stories. Books three and four are longer and may have to take a back seat to blogging for a while.
