Aarya, Seems like you just hated Harry Potter because 10 million + people liked it, not because you read the book or the author's ( Rowling's) writing style or Harry Potter character himself. I have read all previous 6 series and I just finished first 3 chapters of the 7th. I absolutely love Rowling's style that is well balanced between humor, struggling life of Harry, overall life itself so to say fight between good and evil that we all experience in life. The magical world is itself full of colorful characters that takes us to a new level of thinking and wonder. Try reading few lines and you will like it if you are a good book reader as you claim. By the way, I am really enjoying the "Biography of Dumberdore" right now. Cheers.
