You should read the books! The first book starts out kind of slow (I admit to speedreading/skimming parts of it) but once Harry gets into Hogwarts School of Witches/Wizards I was tranfixed with the story, characters, setting and read every single word. It is a very entertaining series. Much better than the movies but usually the book a movie is based on is so much better....

I want to be more like a Ravenclaw or Griffindor student but they would likely put me in Hufflepuff House. They accept everyone whether or not they are talented or not.....
