What are the first 3 words you can think of to describe what YOU think of Harry Potter
(character) anger management, lame
(the book) quality read, enjoyable

10) What do you like about Harry Potter?
(character) hes a bit of an idiot, and really lame, makes you like him occasionally
(the book) its a good read, i.e. its a good experience because it takes you into the fictional world. the characters are really well constructed, and there are good doses of humour in between.

11) What do you dislike about Harry Potter?
(character) needs anger management, particularly in the latest books.
(the book) the author should just call herself joanne instead of JK. It just sounds stupid when shes referred to as J.K. Rowling in everyday speech. I mean, who the hell calls others by their intials. We dont call bush GW bush nor howard, JW Howard for example. Also, from the 5th book (i think) onwards, Ron kept using the word "mate" even though he'd never used it prior to this. It just sounded weird and lame.

12) How would you describe your dedication to the series?
Strongly Like
