No doubt that my favorite is the Harry Potter series which I'm afraid are the only books I read /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix is certainly my favorite because that is where things go wrong and harry was introduce to a more complex and dark world!!

Oh hon please go read some other books too! Now don't get me wrong, Harry Potter is fab and all, but there are so many other books out there, some of which are even better than HP. Trust me. You won't regret it

As for my faves? Well I'd have to say my favorite series is Diane Duane's Young Wizard series. She's handled the aging of Nita and Kit so well.

QUOTE His Dark Materials is one of my favorites series beside the Harry Potter books.[/quote]

I LOVED His Dark Materials:
Other than that I love the Windsinger, the Slaves of The Mastery etc. trilogy... I can't remember the name of it at the moment/ /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Harry Potter of course! I read a lot of series and nothing can compare to Harry Potter. The series of Unfortunate Events was also very good. I wasnt impressed with the movie though....Still, the HP series I just amazing. I love the entire idea of magic especially a school for it. Amazing...just amazing.

HP is one of my favs but I also like His Dark Materials, The Song of the Lioness, and Warriors. So what you ask is very hard /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Edited for netspeak, because we believe in the English language.

I must say, while Harry Potter is within a hair's width of being my top, my favorite series of all time is The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot. It's certainly less well known than the Princess Diaries, but it's based on the paranormal. Fabulous books.

I just requested the Meditator seires (well pretty much all of it) and it looks really good

I'd have to say Lord of the Rings is my favorite book series. I also really like George R. R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, although those would be for more "mature" HOL students-18+ years.

I almost forgot about "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Lemony Snicket Series of Unfortunate Events",they're really splendid and I adore them!And,by the way-to those people who don't read anything besides Harry Potter-I srongly recommend you to try to read something else,too.Tanya's right,no doubt that somewhere must be some books better than Potter and there is!

Hello everyone,

Some of my favorite series are The Belgariad, The Mallorean, both by David Eddings, The Deeds of Paksenarion by Elizabeth Moon, The Heralds of Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey, of course, Lord of the Rings and HP to name just a few. I also read a lot of stand-alone books.

Happy Reading!

Harry Potter,of course!!!

Post by **Ororo Granger** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 10:45 pm

Of course my favourite serie is Harry Potter. Also I like His Dark Materials, Star Wars (old series before ep was released and New order Republic serie) and Guardians of Time Trilogy by Marianne Curley and Circle of Three by Isobel Bird.

In the future the list could grow I'm waiting for Eragon. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

HP is definitely my favourite book series, even though I was a little dissapointed with HBP. /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I like a lots of series like the dark elf from Salvatore, the Clan novels (Vampire), but my top 3 are:
Terry Pratchett: Discworld - Everybody should read them!
Douglas Adams: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the world's first trilogy with 5 books!)
And of course Tolkien and all of his works concerning Middle Earth.
And HP, but I find it obvious.

I don't really like book series (with the exception of Harry Potter & the Lord of the Rings of course). I just think that a story gets sort of old in a continuing series.

I would say Harry Potter is the best series I've read so far. I've enjoyed Lord of the Rings, The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Princess Diaries and I think that's about it.

EDIT from the mod: Please try to keep posts longer than one sentence. Thanks!!

I forgot one. Has anyone read the Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud? The first one is The Amulet of Samarkand and the second is The Golem's Eye.
They are wonderful! The third one comes out this fall, I can hardly wait. Also I listened to them on tape, which I don't usually do, but I think they're even better that way as the person reading them does a great job, really adds to the book
