Should I read Harry Potter?

I loved the series (the books are much better than the movies, IMO), but I know nothing about your taste in books, so I can't say if you'd like it or not.

If you liked the movies, why not try the books? It's not like reading them is going to hurt you. If you like them you like them, if you don't you don't.

UM duh!!!! You havn't read Harry Potter???? You havn't lived until you've read it! They are the best books in the world! Ignore everything bad about what people say about it!

Take it from me, read them.

I grew up thinking the Harry Potter books looked stupid, too, and I never read them. About a year ago I read the first one and was instantly hooked.
I'm not saying you'll love them as much as I do, but they're well written, fun, exciting, fast-paced, sweet, funny, and have real heart. Give them a fair chance and I'm sure you'll like them, too.

Read the first book. If you like the first book read the rest.

You haven't read it??? Of course you should! It is very necessary.

You should read HP it is one of the best book series ever the books are lodes better then the movies

NOOOO!! That book sucks! Trust me!

hell to the no there is no way in hell u should read them u will rather die than read them they r sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring the movie is way better so stick with that

Ehhh, look I only read it recently and i did enjoy it but certainly not a must, like not something I would highly recommend.

It all depends on your personal opinion, its the same with everything some people like it, some don't. Personally i really like the series, and i would recommend it to you. But you might not like it, you won't find out until you read though. Give it a go, it can't do any harm right?

Hey red, being a die-hard fan of Harry Potter, I'd say yes. It's my favorite book series (dont shoot me!) It's smart, with laugh out loud moments, some pages are actually internationally tear-stained, some moments are touched with cupid's arrow and its just a roller coaster. You can keep track of it, and JK is amazing. I say go for it.

Yes. Do it. Now.

Of course you should read them!They're awesome! :)

Yes. Yes, yes you should. It's an AMAZING book series. My favorite. You should definitely read it :)

In my opinion, no. The books are merely too childish, writing-wise; how they got so popular with the older crowd, I'll never know--the books feel like they read at a fourth grade level. Continuing on, the story isn't anything original or innovative--JKR just rehashes the same things as fantasy writers before her.

Plus, it doesn't help that it feels like she copied most of the settings and character personalities from the Worst Witch (a children's book series that I liked when I was younger). Just sayin'.
(The movies are alright, though. Go figure.)

If you want original or unique stories about wizards, go read the Discworld series. Now *those* are good. But I must warn you: they're addicting. ;)

I read some of the comments, and I really think you should read Harry Potter. But it's 100% up to you. I am just saying that J.K. Rowling has talent and that you can get so addicted!! It's my second time reading the series over again!

Yes. Omg, yes.

I, personally, have never read them. But the huuuuuge fuss over the series has made me rethink my actions, to the point where I just may give in and see what it's all about. It never hurts to try!

Defiantly it's amazing it'll be the best book you've ever read!

Haha, I had da same problem as you but I already have seen da movies. I had promised my friend last grade dat I would but never started until two weeks ago. Now am in da second book and I have enjoyed the first and so far da second book. All I say is you should try to read da first and if you get through it without any doubts then keep on reading.

of course you should, its really good and serious book, you'll really love it if you read seriously.
please tell me your opinion after you read

I think you should read them to make your own opinion about them! I started to read them when I was 12 so I can't say that it's not childish or anything because it was a long time ago!
And I actually read Twilight and seriously it's an interesting book in a way there are a lot of good idea developed in here but the author didn't use them at best and the girl Bella is kind of irritating and really stupid most of the time!

YES! That is all I am saying!
But since you liked the movies you definitely should try it! I didnt really liked the movies that much at first but when I read the books I loved them!

You should. It's awesome.
