HP in da house!

Alright, let me make an aside and talk about Harry Potter for a bit here. I just finished reading the book, and i loved it, so i hopped online to see what other reviews said, and most of them said that they were disappointed in the book as it followed too many cliches or the dialogue was bad or too predictable... Fuck... it's a kid's book first of all, and the demographic is still the same, whether or not the series got darker, or more adults are reading it because of the great sales.

But also, i think the series has finally changed, into what i think (and is probably why other people called it cliched and predictable) is more of a comic book series. I won't complain since i love comic books, but the journey that harry embarks on is much the same as in the matrix or the lord of the rings, or even batman and spiderman, and has maybe become a little stale just from being overused in these times.

Shit.. i don't know where i'm going with this... Read the book, i say, if you're interested in it.
