The books and movies are phenomenal. But I could surely do without all the commercialisation. I have heard that the author plans no more than seven books. If she stops at that, I won't mind. However, if they carry on beyond seven then it will feel as though they're just dragging it.

I have never been a Harry Potter fan so I am bound to believe that it's over-hyped. I tried reading the first book but it didn't fascinate me. I even saw one of the movies but again, I was only disappointed. But now they are taking this Harry Potter business too far.

I quite like Harry Potter. I have read four of the books and seen all the movies. The books manage to grasp the reader's undivided attention. I definitely don't think we've had an overdose of Harry Potter. I am actually looking forward for more.

I am a complete Harry Potter fan. I have read all the books and seen three of his movies. When I read the books, I wish I also knew magic and could fly. And as for the craze, it's only natural. In the earlier days, Superman and Batman were all the rage, and now it's Harry Potter.

We have had an overdose of Harry Potter. Nowadays, you get Harry Potter specs, shoes, water bottles etc. However, the craze is only natural. But what I did not like is the fact that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a "grown-up" movie. The books and movies are for kids, so why make it inaccessible for them?
