Am I alone in not liking either the books or the movies?
I'm right with you there.
She seemed to invent the magic as she went along. There were far too many rabbits out of hats.
For me, it got old really fast.
I read maybe a quarter of book 1, and I saw the 1st two movies.
Wow, me too! You must have been influencing me to do what I did.
I'm the sort of person that would stay up all night and pay for it the next morning if I happen to have started reading a book right before bed. Normally, I read about a book every two days. And usually when I read a book that I don't like, I just try to read to the end just to see how the plot turns out. Even Doesteovsky's (sp?) longest and most boring book in the world
Demons I actually painfully read all the way through after having read about a quarter of it.
Harry Potter book I was so borring that I just put it down and had absolutely no desire to pick it up again. When a Dutch couple (they ain't no woman and man if you know what I mean) and their 2 adopted sons came and stayed here for a few nights, I was so surprised to find them reading one of the Harry Potter books each night right before bed to the boys, and I was even more surprised to see the boys so interested and quietly listening to something like that before, and I'm talking about a 7 and 11 year old.

Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!
