When first I heard about Harry Potter, I assumed that I would not like it. I based this assumption mostly on the fact that what most people find so popular, I generaly find rather dull. Particularly children's fads - I have nightmares about the Power Rangers to this day... And Harry Potter was getting quite popular.

My interest was stirred a bit when schools started banning the books. For, as one near and dear to us once commented, the best way to ensure everyone does something is to forbid it. Still, I was not drawn in.

Then one fine day, I was bored out of my skull, and my sister handed me The Sorcerer's Stone. Caving under the pressure, I choked down my revoltion of the hype surrounding the books, and began to read. I got sucked in by the cat reading a map... And the rest is, as they say, history.

The books are aimed at a young audience, but the story is a compeling one, appealing to all ages. I am not in the least embarassed to say I am totaly addicted to Harry Potter!

This is my small tribute to Harry Potter, a story which has wormed its way up the ranks of my favorite books. And I've read more than a few...

Book Extreme Summation
Sorcerer's StoneA powerfully dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, presumed dead (or, at the very least, powerless) shows signs of stirring just as 11 year old Harry Potter starts his first year at Hogwart's.
Chamber of SecretsA young "copy" of Voldemort, preserved in a diary, wrecks havoc when the book is returned to Hogwarts.
Prizoner of AzkabanA follower of Voldemort, in hiding these many years, returns to his master.
Goblet of FireWith the help of his two most faithfull followers, Lord Voldemort manages to regain a physical form.
Order of the PhoenixRefusing to accept the return of Voldemort, the wizarding world ridicules those who proclaim the truth and force Dumbledor to start a secret resistance.
Half Blood PrinceStill thinking lol
