Hannah:  Great idea, phoenixgod2000!  Here's my list (though it's 
not complete or exhaustive)

1.  The world of Harry Potter feels almost real, and by reading the 
books, I can escape the mundanity of everyday life.

2.  The importance of friendship.

3.  I love every one of the characters, even the ones I hate.  And I 
know real life equivalents of many.

4.  Magic comes with it's own set of problems and limitations, but 
it can do some seriously cool stuff!

5.  Every time a new book comes out I literally cannot put it down 
until I've read every word.

6.  It gives me something to think about while sitting on/ waiting 
for trains.

7.  It's made thousands of children who wouldn't otherwise have read 
books, read them.  It's made reading 'cool' for more children.  And 
it's enabled other excellent children's authors to be more widely 
appreciated - by adults and by children.

8.  They're funny, sad, and inventive, often in the same paragraph.

9.  Snape.

10.  The 'Dumbledore resists arrest' scene

11.  Fanfiction, my new favourite hobby.

12.  All of the people I've got to know, all over the world, through 
Harry Potter fansites.  

And about a million other reasons.
