So iv just recently seen all the harry potter films. I thought they were OK but don't fall into my top films. On saying this I have always wanted to watch a film series and then read the book series just to see how close or different they are. Is the harry potter series a good/ worth the read?
Hi everyone, I'm new to the community. As the title suggests I secretly became a Harry Potter fan ever since a friend dragged me to go see the deathly hallows part 1 and 2. It took a few more years but slowly but surely became a fan. I was 13 when the sorcerer's stone was released and my first viewing was in middle school. I was too young to appreciate it, life was hectic at that age so I never gave it a chance. I remember one day our teacher handing us the 1st year book but at that age I wasn't interested. I never envied kids who loved Harry Potter but I always wondered it was like to be a potterhead . I've seen the movies many times and have seen many lore videos and book reviews. I have no friends to ask them about it and this wouldn't be the first time I've pondered upon reading these books. It's 2023 and I'm still wondering. I'm still a kid at heart and.... Always.... Will be lol so if y'all think I should visit Hogwarts at 35 I'd like to know why and what's your experiences so please share. Thank you Yes I've already been sorted. Hufflepuff in da house ?? ?

This might be a controversial pick. Not many people like this mystery but i love it. Its such a simple mystery yet so effective. Whats behind the door that harry's dreaming about? Its just a mystery about a door, but like all the other ones, it has a magical twist. I think because its so simple it stands out alot, which fits the tone of the book, its very unique. Its not like other HP books. That gives it this cool feeling of standing out. Another thing its not a mystery you can kinda like solve, which makes the reveal much more shocking.
Weirdly enough, HBP has 2 mysteries. Who the half blood prince and whats draco up to, And they both incredible. I wanna talk about the draco mystery first. What makes this mystery so amazing, its the fact that harry's kinda right. He solved the mystery before anyone else, nobody believes him. Everyone thinks his theory is far fetched but guess who was right. Thats makes the reveal hurt so much more, harry was so close to solve it too, but alas malfoy was one step ahead of him. Malfoy's been a red herring in alot of the books so when you read it you kinda think he's a red herring again, but he isn't. Now as for the prince, its equally as good. Harry saw the prince as a friend, kept defending him countless times, even thought his dad was one, but the answer was hidden in plain sight. Snape revealing he's the half blood prince right after he killed dumbledore, made this mystery so much more amazing and impactful.
