I like Harry Potter. I thought the depth, detail, and plotline that JK went into were phenomenal. The characters developed and did so in a believable way. They all had motivations and backgrounds, not just the main character. They were all three dimensional, no one was one way. Voldemort was not evil simply because he was evil, there was a whole back story to him. The romantic Amore was realistic, it was not based on looks o smell. It took time, years for some characters, and, in other's, like Snape and Sirius, it never happened. The platonic Amore was realistic as well. Mother's sacrificed their lives for their children, children stuck da their parents and were proud of what their parents had endured. The family ties were strong, never breaking, and, again, were realistic. It wasn't predictable. Sure, there were somethings te knew were going to happen, but te didn't know the entire book after the first three chapters. The bad guys were scary. Voldemort raised a whole army, then sent it out to maim, torture and kill people. He killed children, tried to kill children, considered muggles to be no better than slaves (there was even a thrown created out of their bodies in DH). They discriminated and were feared. People's stories were relatable. I don't mean the whole, "magic" aspect. I meant the rest. Harry was neglected as a child, ridiculed and, often ostracized as a teenager. Hermione was made fun of for not being a "pureblood" and for being "an insufferable know it all." Ron lived under the shadow of his older siblings, rarely ever having the limelight. Sirius was wrongly accused and punished for something he didn't do. Remus was discriminated against for something done to him that he couldn't control. Severus loved his best friend for his whole life, only to make one mistake and loose her to the man he despised. He was made fun of, and also neglected as a child. Dumbledore made a mistake that, not only haunted him for the rest of his life, but completely changed his view on the way he was living his life.
