Best Harry Potter book?
I think Prisoner of Azkaban was the best, with Chamber of Secrets in second. Least favorite was probably the Half-Blood Prince.

I pretty much agree with Azkaban but I'd put the first book (Philosopher's / Sorcerer's Stone) second just because it was the first in the series and built the HP world.

Define literature, define genre fiction, describe how they are different.

I like Goblet of Fire better than Prisoner of Azkaban, but PoA is definitely second.

Books 5-7 are a mixed bag for me. I liked Luna, horcruxes, Voldemort/Dumbledore's backstory, and Harry seeing fetus Voldemort in train station purgatory. But Harry and Ron became less likable as characters, the romance in Half-Blood Prince was annoying, and they wasted the first half of Deathly Hallows doing virtually nothing.

Harry's story ended with the third book.

The rest are just filler.

I wonder when that picture was made, and if it's even from /lit/. The hatred for American literature from 1920-1969 minus Pynchon has gotten to ridiculous proportions on this board.

Probably the last one. I did enjoy the amount of school they had in book 1, 2, 3 and 5 though, I could read about a Hogwarts were nothing really ever happens except for angsty teenagers snogging.

I guess I should just read fanfic...

From the best to the worst according to me:
1. Chamber of Secret
2. Goblet of Fire
3. Half-Blood Prince (why don't you like it?)
4. Order of the Phoenix (but I hate the movie)
5. Philosopher's stone-Prisoner of Azkaban
6. Deathly Allows (It's the only Hp book that at the beginning I didn't want to finish because it was boring)
Anyway, >genre fiction

Didn't like it because I remember being incredibly bored at the beginning of the novel. Toward the end it got a bit better, but I just remember having a hard time getting through it.
But that was years ago, I should reread the series sometime.
