I think it is safe to say, that everyone nowadays has heard of Harry Potter and his story. If you haven't read the books, you may have seen one of the eight movies.
I started reading the series when I was in the fourth grade. I finally finished them all in my freshman year of high school.
Does the series belong on the BBC Top 200 list?
Yes. The books themselves are great reads. They are adventurous, full of suspense, friendship, and beneath the top layer, the story of a kid finding himself.
I think the books are great for all ages. The books in my opinion, are instant classics. They will be read by children and adults for generations to come.
Does the series deserve its spot on the BBC Top 200 list?
No. When I saw how high the series was on the list, it reminded me of Alice and Wonderland. All of the books are great, but I really do not think they deserve the # 4 spot. I would place the series probably in the 75-80 range. I do however, recommend them to everyone.

I hope to see you there!
Great Harry Potter review. I've seen the movies, but never read the books. After reading your review however, that will change.
