What does what other people think have to do with what I like? And please find someone who doesn't like Harry Potter because I haven't.
Mememememe!
In notice that you have a movie novelization up there with the The Great Gatsby; for my peace of mind, I'm going to assume, for my own peace of mind, this is some sort of joke.

Why not respect we have different opinions.
If not no reason to make this list.
It is actually quite interesting why other people think a book is exceptionally good when you self think it is nothing special.
I did read most of the first Harry Potter book and think it was nothing special - especially the language and explanations were not so good. The movies are a lot better. Normally I think books are much better compared to movies, but not for Harry Potter.
