  I had seen the Harry Potter movie series when I was a kid. It was always my favourite movie growing up, but I had never given the books a chance, even after hearing countless times that they were far better than the movies. Last Christmas I recieved the entire Harry Potter book collection from my mom. Now that I own all the books, I decided it was a good idea to finally read the series.
