When I have read the books the first time my daughter was only little, but now she is a teen and reading the books is just like immersing into my daughter's day-to-day high school life, the life that is full of drama, homework, confrontations, friendships, alliances, and romances, only in a world where magic exists and where everything is much more interesting. Stephen Fry aside, I think I have solved the mystery of the universal appeal of Harry Potter for myself. May be everything is just better with Stephen Fry? But strangely enough, I am loving the series this time round. The style and writing is also nothing to write home about. To preface, I have ranted written about the Harry Potter books at length previously, and I am still of the same opinion: the series are not by any stretch of imagination original and use many "borrowed" ideas. I have finally gave up, started listening the audio books version read by Stephen Fry and accidentally found myself falling in love with this audio version. My daughter is in the process of reading the Harry Potter books so she was asking and asking for me to re-read them too so that we can.
