Harry Potter Series:-
1)Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (July 1997)
The first of the series that starts with Harry Potter living a miserable life with his horrible mortal relatives an aunt, uncle and a spoilt, fat cousin named Dudley. He has never had a birthday party in the eleven years of his sad life and home for him is a cupboard under a dark staircase. But all that changes when he gets an invitation from Hogwarts - the greatest school of magic ever. It is here that he meets his best friends Hermoine and Ron. He learns to fly brooms and play Quidditch. Helps a dragon hatch, learns magic spells and is gifted an invisibility cloak. Harry also 'meets' his worst enemy - Voldemort - for the first time.
2)Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets (July 1998)
After a dreadful summer break at the Dursleys, Harry can't wait to go back to another year of magic and witchcraft at Hogwarts. Just when he is leaving, he bumps into an impish creature called Dobby who warns him of more disasters that await him when he gets back to Hogwarts. The second year has new sets of problems like a stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny. But all this pales in comparison to when students at Hogwarts start turning to stone. The prime suspects here are Draco Malfoy, an evil rival; Hagrid whose traumatic past is finally revealed; or could it be Harry Potter himself causing all this trouble?
3)Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (July 1999)
The infamous prisoner, Sirius Black has escaped from the dreaded prison of Azkaban. Sirius Black was the apparent heir of Lord Voldemort and was convicted for killing thirteen people with one single curse. There are only two clues to finding him - guards who have heard him mutter in sleep:"He is at Hogwarts" and when Harry defeated Voldemort it led to Sirius Black's downfall as well. Harry is not safe even at Hogwarts especially when there is a traitor amongst them.
4)Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (July 2000)
Harry Potter is halfway through his wizard training at Hogwarts and wants to get away from the terrible Dursleys to go and watch the Quidditch World Cup. Besides that, a competition takes place at Hogwarts involving two other rival magic schools - a competition that has not taken place in a hundred years. Harry becomes a participant much against his will. When all he wants to do is dream about Cho Chang and live a normal life of a fourteen year old. But there is a lot more in store for Harry Potter including some dangerous and deadly dealings.
5)Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix (June 2003)
Harry is having nightmares of a door at the end of a spooky and quiet corridor. The fifth year at Hogwarts comes with another set of problems like a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who is not entirely understood, a new member on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and ordinary wizarding level exams. But above all, what is causing the most concern is a looming threat from Voldemort which neither the Ministry of Magic nor the authorities at Hogwarts can solve. Harry must test and understand the strengths of his friends and make a difficult sacrifice.
6)Harry Potter And the Half-Blood Prince (July 2005)
Harry's battle against Voldemort is by now at fever pitch. Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts is absent for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses. The sixth year in Hogwarts has its own set of problems as well. Students are learning to apparate, there is romance in the air and Harry is receiving some help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince. In the sixth book Harry explores and understands the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort - and thereby discovers what may be his only vulnerability
7)Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (to be released July 2007)

Harry Potter is not only liked by kids but also by adults .
Well, I enjoy imagining that there are some wizards living along with us in this world..
And Think ,,These wizards calling us Muggles...
I have read all the 6 books of Harry Potter..
I enjoyed them too much.
I think it is high quality,intelligent entertainment.
I even watched The movie "Harry Potter and the goblet of fire",
but I didn't like it as much.
I feel reading the books is a far-better experience than watching the movie.
well,I am eagerly Waiting for the final Harry-Potter book........
Are you also waiting?

u seem to be quite inclined towards Harry potter, the world is fan of it but i don't know why but i didn't like his movies and that's why i never tried out his books too... still it has something which makes the people so crazy, that the books or the movie tickets sale like hot cakes...
yes many a times books are far better than movies. 'where eagles dare' was probably the ony case, as per me, where it was difficult to say which was better, the movie or the book. both were superb!!
and thanks so much ur comments.
even i hv never felt like reading harry potter, i dont know why. i had read 'haatimtai' years ago when i was in school, it was an amazing fantasy
hmmm... seems slike u r a die hard fan of harry potter... nice research!! even m waitin for de release..
I can't wait until the last book comes out. The only unfortunate thing is that once I get a new Harry Potter, I usually consume it in 5 days or less.
However, I think the movies are okay but they are nothing compared to the book. Of course, that is true in most cases where books are turn into movies.
