I just re-read the last two books very recently. I read the first two books to my two year old too. She loves them, but it may be more due to the silly voices daddy does when he reads them ("Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey" style). I love the series. Anyone who gives me that "Rowling is a competent author, though she has many failings as a writer" schtick can ess on my dee. She writes great, fun, entertaining stories that anyone can appreciate, save for the types that are waiting around for the editing gigs they'll never score. Jim Butcher gets the same rap, and it's total bullshit. I'm honestly not much of a fiction buff, but anyone I've suggested the Potter and Dresden series to has loved them and read them as quickly as they could. I really thought book 7 was the weak link, if only for the amount of time the gang spent wandering around in the woods yelling at each other. Also, how exactly Harry defeats Voldemort and why Dumbledore lets Snape kill him (are these really spoilers?) are a mite convoluted, and pretty difficult to explain to someone in less than five minutes. That's my only bitch. Great series, and I can't wait for my child to get into it on her own years down the road.
