Well, Harry Potter is hardly original, a lot of fantasy stories are about the orphan with the horrible life who ends up being some kick ass guy instead of a dork.
I love the Harry Potter books. I find them really interesting and fun light, reading. I only wish they weren't as popular as they are now, it was horrible seeing people dressed as fucking wizards at the movie. I just know they are going to end up with fans as annoying as Star Wars geeks.

I want to add, that the only people I know who don't care for the books, are usually people who have read the US versions. I find that funny.
