Harry Potter

A while ago I started reading the Harry Potter books, more out of curiousity than anything else.
For a long time I just thought it was all a big hype, and even if the marketing department has poured out loads of money it still seems that they for once had some really good material to market.

I have to say that Rowling really knows how to write. These are books that you read through very quickly, I'm on the 6th book now, and it takes about 1-2 weeks for me to read one them, and for me with my life that is rather fast.

The discussion around the topic Harry Potter is rather interesting as well. The fanbase that already can be compared to Star Wars fans and trekkies and so on, the accusations against Rowling for turning children into satanists, and all kind of stuff.

Well, it is fun to read a book and know that you're reading something that most probably will end up as a classic piece of litterature.
