Harry Potter is one series that really needs no introductions. One of the most successful of all time, Harry Potter is a classic series for young and old alike.

The Half Blood Prince
by J K Rowling
The stupidity around the release of this book has grown to new heights. If somebody 10 years ago have told me that a book series would become so popular that, people would go to great lengths as breaking and entering, just to read the next volume before everybody else, I probably wouldn't have be...

Not a word about Hollywood and the movie (which I will be seeing in a couple of days). Not a word about the merchandise and kids dressed as Potter. Not a word about how this book made the kids read again. Just ...
