Harry Potter Rambling...

Okay, so I was thinking about how a lot of people say they don't like J. K. Rowling's other works, and I'm not surprised by that. The thing about the Harry Potter books is that they weren't that great individually- the writing wasn't bad, for the most part it was fast paced, and they each had a great individual plot. Honestly, when people say Harry Potter book something was their favorite book, I am kind of astonished, because none of them are better, in my mind, than my favorite book The Chocolate War, but Harry Potter is still my favorite series. What makes Harry Potter great is the series as a whole and the world of it. Who wouldn't want there to be another world filled with magic? As a series, it also doesn't do what most series do by getting worse, or having a defining best book. What makes it great is that there is no best book, and it leaves up so much room for discussion. The world building is also incomprehensibly amazing, and how you discover bits and pieces of it is even better. This is why I can see why people don't love all of J. K. Rowling's published works, and you can disagree with me, but that is how I see it.
