Harry Potter isn't my favorite book series ever written and I don't think the JK Rowling is the greatest writer of our generation or whatever, but they are probably the most important books I have ever read from a personal standpoint. I read first book when I was in 3rd or 4th grade, and until that point I pretty much despised reading. There wasn't much appeal in books for my sports/video games/anything but reading brain. After finishing the first book I forced my Mom to buy me the second, and then the third and then the long wait for the fourth began. Everything changed after that and I began to read compulsively. Everything I could get my hands on, fantasy or not enthralled me. Now, twelve years later I'm off to a great college on an English scholarship and can't imagine what my life would have been like without reading that first book. I guess I owe more to JK Rowling than to any other author and have to believe, that for all of their faults, Harry Potter, more than anything else effected my future in an incredibly positive way. I'll always be sad it's over, but it was a great series.
