Harry Potter - no spoiler
So I spent twelve hours yesterday with Harry Potter.
I highly recommend. |

Good to know about the thumbs up from you. I'm waiting for both kids to be asleep at the same time to start it.
Hasn't happened yet. |

I must say, it's a nice turnabout to have Flash begging me not to drop any spoilers this time. |

Am I in the minority in that I've never picked up a Harry Potter book, let alone read one and have never seen a Harry Potter movie?

Rowling infuses her work with Latin incantations and Classical allusions. It's unusual for such a pop-phenom set of works to be so well-written and well-constructed. |

My brother (6 yrs younger than me) had the same attitude as you, until he came to live with us a couple of summers ago for a law internship. He was determined to avoid the Harry Potter phenomenon, until I convinced him to just try the first one. He grudgingly admitted he liked them and read the whole available series in a matter of weeks. |

I disagree. I liked this one.
I like the Latin incantations and classical references.
