Not the best series ever, but it goes a long way to show how mainstream =/= bad, how books can appeal to a wide audience without losing quality, and how old tropes can still be used to great effect. A personal favorite of mine.
And since other people ordered their books from favorite to least favorite: 5, 7, 4, 3, 6, 1, 2. I don't think the series became GREAT until that Dementor stopped the Hogwarts Express.
