Are the Harry Potter books worth reading?

They're okay. The last one's disappointing because it abandons the structure that was firmly established in the previous six, but they aren't terrible or anything like that.Theokhoth

Every book you read will help you become a better writer, and the Harry Potter books are a dime a dozen. Harry Potter series is one of the best. If you read alot, than it will only take you like 5 or 6 hours to read each book.(Those are for the newer ones, will only take like 3 hours to read the first few.)

No, there are much better books out there. Well, I guess reading the first three is fine (although the second is fairly meh), but after that it's not worth continuing.chessmaster1989

actually,after the third it gets better:P

hell freaking yea theyre worth reading

omg so much fun to read.

agreed, the last couple books are simply awesome

I never read them but everyone who has tells me there really good

i read the first book and i really liked it.. but after watching the movies, i never really cared to read the rest of the other books

They are the best books in the world to me, my absolute favorites. They make me feel like I don't have to grow up too soon and they're easy to read, just really imaginative and lots of childish fun. I'm now a bona fide Harry Potter addict so they definitely changed my life. :P

I definitelywill say Harry Potter books are worth reading. It is a very fun and interesting series, much like the Narnia series.

If you don't mind seeing the plot destroyed by the end of the series....be my guest.LJS9502_basic

I'd recommend reading them. I only got through the fifth book as I read every released book the summer after 5th grade, but the sixth wasn't out yet. They were amazing to me back then though.If you eant to get sucked in to reading, they're the books for you.Having them all available to read back to back to back will helpsignifcantly in your enjoyment of the series as well.in There are quite a few things you'll need to remember between books and the quality of the experience diminishes with time, so you've really got it best. I recall trying to go back to the sixth book a few years ago, but it was too hard as I just wasn't sucked into the atmosphere anymore and I had forgotten a lot of fine details that I know would have made the experience a lot richer, so knowing that, I just gave it up.

They're a great way to get into reading though. After I read the ones that were released, I immediately picked up other popular series, including the Chronicles of Narnia which I enjoyed immensely as well. I'm not a raving fan, and there are definitely better books out there though.Once you read other books, reading Harry Potter feels a definitely feels a bit juvenile in some regards (at least the first two definitely do), but for someone such as yourself whose not as into reading, I couldn't recommend them more.
