Ok, I decided I would write a brand new review instead of reposting the old one. I decided to do this because I wrote the first review for the series during my "Mid-Blog Crisis", therefore, it was kind of sucky. So here's a new one, hopefully better than the last. (I would like to stress that this will be much shorter and less detailed than the old review, by that I mean I going to give you a background story, ect., ect., trials and tribulations, *mystery*, so if you want more details, even if the writing is sucky, read the old one, but I would like it if you read this one too.)
Harry Potter is a wizard, though he doesn't know it, at least, not until his elevinth birthday. Harry's parents died at the hands of the most feared wizard of the time (possibly of all time), although his aunt and uncle (who Harry has been living with ever since the night his parents were murdered) always said it was a car crash. But when Harry turns elevin, the web of lies Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon have built falls down with a loud crash disporportionite to its size and weight. Throughout the entire series we follow Harry's journey that he takes with all the people who love him. Througout the series he goes through heartache and trials as we follow along peering into the world J.K. Rowling has created.
There's not much to say about this book other than AWESOME. Rowling's writing is great. It can be funny sad, sweet, and heartbreakingly wonderful all at the same time. You really get sucked into her world (and love it too). This is a wonderful tale for the ages.
Taryn.
P.S. I found a new vice (not that I had one before, but...), Harry Potter fan fiction. You should really go over to Mugglenets fan fiction site (here- http://fanfiction.mugglenet.com/). Many of the stories are awesome, though some aren't. WARNING- don't go to the Hermione/Snape section of the the romance fics category (unless you're one to go for that), because you will have the image of Snape kissing Hermione burned into your mind for an entire day (and that day will be full of gagging and wincing and serious meditation trying to get that image out of your head), and then, whenever you think about that moment, you gag, for up to a week. So, don't go there (again, unless you're one for that). Also, I will give no reasons as to why I was in the romance fics category.
