the gospel of harry potter

i've been on the offensive regarding harry, lately. i am sick of hearing people gripe about harry either because they haven't read it or they have misread their Bible. so, i'm on the offensive: challenging people to read it and discuss it with me; selling all the wonderful things about the books; alerting people to the fact that Rowling is a genius.

i still haven't got to the sixth book yet because i've been re-reading the previous five. so, don't spoil it for me.
