Harry Potter

Yes, I know that this is very sterotypical, writing about Harry Potter on my magical creatures blog but I have nothing better to write about and so Harry Potter it is.  If you have been in a hole in the ground with a lot of dirt over you or awaiting the next appocolipse in a bunker then you haven't heard of Harry Potter.  However millions if not billions of people have and there is a solid fan base for the young wizard.  I myself am admittedly a die hard fan of the books and own several books to that effect.  Harry Potter was a huge part of my childhood and fond memories of the books will last a lifetime.  When I have my own children I will read them the story as my father read it to me when they reach eight years of age or older as the complex consepts of the book wouldn't be understood until then.  I love the books and movies which are about a young wizard navigating his way through school while at the same time having to fight with an evil wizard named Lord Voldemort.  It takes seven books for him to challenge and ultimately defeat the dark lord and it is worth the wait as all the books have complex plot lines as well as intersting by stories. Sometimes I also write fanfiction for this series and I'm quite fond of reading stories by other young authors pertaining to Harry Potter.
