Probably one of the best series to ever walk the Earth. People are always comparing it to Lord of the Rings and Twilight when in reality, it's nothing like either. Twilight is a crappy vampire series and Lord of the Rings is totally awesome, but for me not as good as Harry Potter. Harry Potter is on it's way to becoming a piece of classic literature and it is well deserved too. People are always complaining about it but usually they don't read the books. Contrary to popular belief, J.K. Rowling is not a satanist. She is an awesome writer who made it after living on the streets. She has pretty much made my life worth living with her awesome characters, Harry Potter, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione.

To sit down and do something (most commonly read), all in one sitting or in a very short time, just as you would read a new Harry Potter book in one sitting just after it is released.
I am going to have to Harry Potter this book tonight John, I need to have it read by tomorrow or our teacher will be angry.

1) A boy with a scar on his head that makes him something that no one should worship.
2) A boy with a scar on his head that makes him go insane with pain.
3) A boy with a scar on his head that told everyone he was a freak. He goes to Hogwars, how freakier can you get?
4) Something that Chris Columbus ruined totally.
5) A creation of J.K. Rowling.

A book series that is made of win.
Often compared to Twilight or Lord of the Rings, despite being both infinitely better and mostly unrelated to the two.

Illiterate non-Harry Potter fan*: Oh my god, Harry Potter is a rip off of Lord of the Rings, and Twilight is way better!
Reasonable person: You are not intelligent, my friend.
*note: this doesn't mean that people who don't like Harry Potter are illiterate, just that people who compare it to Lord of the Rings and Twilight are.

The most wonderful movies and books ever written. They are not to be compared to Narnia, Twilight, or Lord of the Rings. It surpasses all other literature. It's quite common to be an inside joke. The symbol is a lightning bolt, not to be confused with Lady Gaga. Harry Potter is my life.

A very dull series of books written by J K Rowling. Mostly plaigarised, stealing ideas from various sources such as Lord of the Rings and Bedknobs and Broomsticks, of all places. Follows the fate of Harry Potter and his journey through Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The kind of books to read when you're on a plane and have nothing better to do besides gnawing off your own arm. And for all the Americans, it's Harry Potter and the PHILOSOPHER'S Stone.
Me : "I really wanted to like Harry Potter, but I got distracted every other line trying to remember where that idea was stolen from."
