Harry Potter books are one of the most popular bookseries´s in the world. It is full fiction, but it´s written so well, that it seems very real, because the writter descripes the characters and the inviroment so well. The book is so compelling, that you just have to keep reading it, you just cannot stop. The only bad side of the book is, that sometimes you lose your sense of time. Time in the book goes much faster than you think it goes. The message of the book is, that in life, anything could happen.
