I have missed out on a lot not reading the Harry Potter series. For the longest time I wasn't allowed to read it because of the sorcery. Now, I'm finally allowed to enjoy the amazingness that is Harry Potter and the wonderful writing of the lovely J.K. Rowling.
Now, if I'm honest I've only read the first book so to some of you I still may be a Muggle, but oh well.
The book was really good and it was one of those books that I could really get lost in. I opened the book and suddenly I was at Hogwarts finding Fluffy or finding out that I was a wizard or dealing with the terrible terrible Durselys. For the time I was reading I was in another world entirely. To me that's one of the best things an author can do. If I totally forget about reality, then great! I love it! Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone did that for me.
I have yet to finish the first movie. I started watching it, but had to stop to go to my grandparents house and when I got home I was ridiculously tired. I tried to watch it but ended up falling asleep. I have felt up to my eyes in homework, extra curricular activities, and the social life I manage to maintain even though my nose is usually stuck in a book.
So if you haven't read the Harry Potter series you need to get yourself to the library and check out a copy. Engross yourself in the world of Harry Potter and enjoy.
