Ive just fininshed reading the first 4 Harry Potter books for about the 5th time through， and theyre just as magical and affecting as they have ever been。
　　Everything is in here： suspense， adventure， mystery， humour， danger。
　　Theres even some pretty satisfying paybacks。
　　The characters are fantastic and fantastically realistic。
　　There are bad people who turn out to be good guys and good people who turn out to be bad guys， just like life。
　　I think the thing I like best about these books is the message that its okay to be different - to be not normal。
　　I would love for everyone in school to have hear that message。
　　It would probably reduce the bullying around the school。
　　These books value real thoughts。
　　Much has been made of Harrys rule breaking， but only once in the series so far does he break a rule for arbitrary personal gain。
　　Most of the time he makes a decision that whats right is more important than whats written。
　　And you know what？ Lifes like that sometimes。
　　I think its great that kids are getting an example of how to do whats right even when it involves breaking rules。
　　The Potter books also show that there are consequences for rule breaking。
　　If not getting caught and getting a detention， then a spell going wrong and someone getting turned into a cat。
　　This shows that when you make a decision to go against the rules that things may not go as you expected and you have to take responsibility for the outcome。
