    I think that the last book should have ended after Voldomort was killed. I think it was a mistake to have this "20 years in the future epilogue" to end the book. Did not like it in the books or movies. I thought that was a mistake.

    BTW, very cool trailer. A lot of effort went into making it. I would definitely watch it.

      Sadly you did not have kids of an age to share the experience with. It was a wonderful thing for our family.

        The "Beasts" franchise is an ancillary prequel. It's done pretty well.

        Why not a sequel? It's money in the bank. 🏦

          George, I would honestly suggest listening to them on Audible. These books really were absolutely meant for the format, and Jim Dale was the perfect reader. Forget the fact that they were children’s books and just focus on the art of the story telling.

              My wife totally agrees. She listened to them all (on CD) while driving for work in virginia. Said it was really great.

                I thought the first couple were absolutely wonderful. As the series went on, I liked them somewhat less, although I still read them all, and also read them all aloud to my kids, which was quite the achievement.

                I was only joking

                  As are the movies. The best are the first two or three...

                    Younger children are so much more more fun to read about than teenagers. At times the later books veered dangerously close to being teen romance books with wizards.

                      What voice did you use when you read "Is that your wand or are you happy to see me?"
