Hogwarts for the Holidays

I am now lost in the wonderful wizardry world of Harry Potter. And understand when i say "lost" i really mean in the middle of the series and enjoying them alot. I just finished the second book today, and i only have good things to say about it. All the characters are great. It is funny. The ends have wonderful twists. And everyone says it doesn't get good till book 4, so i have alot to look forward to.

I remember back in the day when everyone was making a big fuss about not reading the books or watching the movies. Now most of my close friends love the series, talk about them alot, and highly recommend reading them. So i finally decided to listen to my friends and pick the series up. They have been refreshing to my soul, as i often now get to sit with my own imagination and read a fun and easy story. "An easy read" is what i heard the most from everyone who had read the books. And this easy read is exactly what i needed. Between some of the heavy theological books i've picked since the summer and all my college textbooks, i feel like i've been running long distances as fast as i can. Harry Potter has been more like stroll in the park. Like a nice easy walk in the fresh air, just looking at big houses and old trees, wondering what it'll be like to grow up.
