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.

And about a million other reasons.

Hi Hannah, those are all good reasons and are just what I look 
for in a book! While you're waiting for the next instalment of HP, 
I'd suggest you try any of these, which I feel fit a lot of your
points: 
A College Of Magics, The Odessa Stone (favourite book!), 
Sabriel, Artemis Fowl and The Subtle Knife?  They're all worth a 
look, and in different ways are enjoyable. Terry Pratchett's pretty 
good, at times.
As for HP, I hope the next book brings a little warmth into Harry's 
world because that's what I felt was missing from OoTP. Too 
much shouting, too much anger, not enough civility and 
kindness.
