I think that Harry Potter was one of the worst books I have read. It is to fascinated with witches and goblins and other science fiction. I wish authors that have such a talent would get back to writing about fantasy and other things that would make kids have good and happy dreams and also that would make this next generations of kids more happy and think more realistic.
