    I mean I was a kid but I had already started reading The Hobbit in the fifth grade and then The Lord of the Rings in the sixth grade before the movies came out, so by the time I started reading Harry Potter also in the sixth grade I already felt like it was good but not great. But my grandma bought them for me because she knew I liked Tolkien’s books so I read them all each time she’d buy them for me. She was really sweet about it so I always feel like a jerk when I shit on Harry Potter books like this because I feel like an ungrateful little brat. Haha She’d understand though.

    But, honestly, I feel like the last book was the most interesting to me.
