I don't think any one of the books are Amazing, but the sum total of the entire Harry Potter story line and universe is. 5/5

Yes, it's like, it's so good right? And everybody loves it so you don't say it much. [...] it kind of provides a source of comfort, like nostalgia. That's really interesting angle on it, you don't think about how many kids have legitimately grown up with the Harry Potter series, that's amazing!
