Harry potter: nice book series, or cruel child corruptor

I want to know your views, this argument sort of started erupting in another thread and i figured it should move to a new one so the old one can move on.

so....do you like harry potter or do you not like it. let the debate commence!

I love harry potter... lol i like the books better than the movies they are more detailed... but if you are able to read the books and watch the movies you should be able to understand it is all fake you can't really kill people and what not with sticks... it is really cute to see little kids in the robes for like halloween or something but on a normal day that is alittle weird

We have some really good positive feedback, any challengers?
