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.
