You're asking this to a bunch of people who worship a certain set of books 
by someone named J.K. Rowling? *grins*

The trilogy that I have read the most is The Last-Herald Mage trilogy by 
Mercedes Lackey. *waits for all the groans* Hey, I was in high school. I 
loved the angst. Still do, in fact. I desparately want to find the omnibus 
that was released by GuildAmerica (I think). I like all of her stuff, in 
fact. Yeah, it's fluffy but I still like it.

Worshipped the Narnia series and The Dark Is Rising series when I was 
younger. And I still do. Got the lovely poem in TDIR memorized. Wonderful 
stuff.

My "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is quite falling apart. Dagnabbit, I 
want to visit a Chocolate Factory! I was in a play version of it in third 
grade (Mrs. Bucket and an Oompa Loompa, thank you very much) and in eighth 
grade, I got to play Willy Wonka. Yes, I'm a female. Our director probably 
shouldn't have cast me in all honesty, as I'm sure it confused the grade 
school kids who we preformed in front of to no end! Plus I was way too 
dramatic. Flinging of arms about everywhere. I'm surprised I got through the 
experience without wacking someone in the face.

And...I was in love with the Babysitter Club series. *hides face in shame* I 
had the books up to number 70 or something like that. I couldn't get rid of 
them until recently because of the strong nostalgia. Who cares if they were 
horribly written? I still loved them with all my heart when I was in grade 
school and middle school.

*looks at a subset of her list* Hm, I'm not likely to impress anyone with 
what I worshipped. Definitely not a Ravenclaw, I'm not nearly intellectual 
enough.

You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken
I come undone - in this mad season"
