Harry Potter as a "Classic" Series

Hello all,

Well, I think I only posted 4 times before now, so hopefully, the 
List Elves won't get me!

I hear some people saying they'll never read the series again and 
some other such nonsense. Why? Would be my question. Now that I know 
HRH makes it through, I can't wait to read them ALL over again, and 
share them with my children and my grandchildren...

These are classic books, on the level of LotR and Narnia. At least 
to me. This is a classic story, and she stuck to the appropriate 
happy ending. I saw someone else had quoted Bilbo on this point, and 
I agree. 

Of course the book wasn't perfect. No book is. But she has brought 
magic back into my life, and made me remember the best of myself at 
moments when that seemed unlikely, and these books hold a lot more 
whimsy AND profundity than most adult novels I can think of. 

It's a classic, no doubt, that will be read for generations. At 
least in my family! Cheers, Katie
