I myself have attended every movie midnight showing to date and the midnight release for book 5, 6 and 7. I can honestly say it’s an out of this world experience to see Easton completely filled with people dressed in Harry Potter/Wizarding World costumes or the entire movie theater filled with people also in costume playing “Quidditch” or having their tea leaves read. I think Harry Potter is one of the best examples of pop culture from our generation because people from 3 to 93 enjoy Harry Potter! "

i agree with you that Harry Potter is amazing. I think it's wonderful that it has inspired so many kids across the world to read. Those who look down upon Harry Potter or think it is stupid are definitely missing out!
Harry Potter inspired people to read, not just children. However, I'm pretty disappointed in the movies in some respects. For example, the books portray Snape as a spiteful, evil man. The movies show him in a much softer light, at some times even sympathetic. He is by no means nice to Harry, but I believe the movies do not accurately represent Snape's character.
I also do not like the people who think they are too grown up or cool to read these novels. They are entertaining, so people just need to give them a try.
I am in the vast majority of "Potter-heads". Hello, fellow Sister! I've work at a bookstore for years so I have been at every midnight release party since The Sorcerer's Stone. I also agree with you on the fact that this series raised the reading % amongst young people (or any people for that matter). It also unleaseh the flood gate for copycat authors and others who are riding on the coattails of the great J.K Rowling.
