Only 3???? :-)

Hmm. . . 

#1 Interesting Characters. The heroes are the kids who in normal life 
might be "outcasts". A skinny kid with glasses and fame, a redhead 
with popular older brothers, and a brainy girl who doesn't care about 
fashion. Plus, this world is populated with a great variety of other 
people and creatures. Strict teachers, adults who really care about 
their students (yeah!) and several people who are great to hate!!

#2 An Alternate Reality. Life with magic!! How cool would that be! 
What a great escape when normal life gets me down!

#3 That I can read them over and over, and learn something new each 
time, since JKR has written such an amazingly complex, connected 
plot. I love that each book teaches us new things, expands on things 
in earlier books and hints at things to come.
