If you had to pick only one, which Harry Potter book, would be YOUR favourite and why? For me, I would say the third one because for the first time, we see Harry really explore the life of his parents and parts of his own past. It's also when I feel the death of his parents and the whole event comes to light as a real tragedy and we begin to see exactly what Voldemort did. I'm also one for a heartwarming tale and I like the fact that Harry finds his godfather and Lupin. Finally, there are some important points for the future, but mostly, we begin to see just what what Harry is capable of.
Megan, I have never been one too team up with the masses. I learn more from the literature I choose to read
I read the classics, poetry and award winning authors of contemporary children's and adult literature. 'Learn from the best' is my motto. I mainly read Carnegie Medal and Newbery Medal authors. The standard of writing is always excellent. Many of the winners and finalists write superb adult literature.

Curious Adrian - why haven't you read Harry Potter?
Answer to original question - how could I possible choose?
Am I the only person on this planet who has not read Harry Potter, or seen any of the films.
But hats off to J K Rowling, for encouraging millions to read.
