Harry Potter #7 by J.K. Rowling

This last book was…hmmm…AWESOME!!! The drama, the action, the danger, it was almost too much. All the events from past books were neatly tied together and tossed about slightly in this GRAND FINALE.

Harry Potter #1 by J.K. Rowling

I LOVE the Harry Potter series because the idea of magic appeals to me greatly. I love how the author pulls different events together and twists it up in the end for a beautiful conclusion.
