The Harry Potter series: 5/5 
I am glad I picked this up. This series is awesome, and I was head over heels for it and can’t stop recommending it. I am pleased that Harry is portrayed as human rather than some perfect hero. His emotional struggles, friends, school life, and everything makes these books worth reading. This magical world helped me escape into a whole new world. I can't help but praise J.K. Rowling for creating the Harry Potter universe— she is truly an expert. It’s phenomenal that J.K. Rowling had this dynamic ability to create a world of fantasy that’s so mind-blowing that it influences me and it became a major part of my life I admit that picking up the first book in this series was the best decision in my reading journey.
