I got the least Harry Potter book at midnight and read it straight off.
I think its a great series insofar as its accessible, likeable main characters, a strong storyline... but I have to admit I find Sparrowkawk (especially in the first book) to be a lot more engaging and interesting character.
And throughout the whole Harry Potter series, you are always about an inch away from admitting to yourself that the magic, the metaphysics of it, just makes no sense.
On the other hand, I was really taken with the idea in the Earthsea series that true magic was based on knowing true names.
