| No, I don't think so. That reminds me I have to do a marathon one of these days. |

| Since the series of books and movies have ended years ago, I'm gonna say no because the hype has gone down and I'd say that it's a good series. Not my favorite, but I like it. |
 |
| i rarely ever hear anyone talk about them, i lost interest in them over tiem but they were pretty darn creative and the movie adaptions usually did the books justice, id say they were pretty deserving of praise |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Probably but nostalgia and childhood factor(read all the books) is clouding my judgment :3 |
| I just didn't like the ending but the rest is... ok. |
 |
| I think Harry Potter is a good series of movies and books overall, but not as good as the fandom makes it out to be I suppose. It's overrated, but not nearly as undeservedly overrated as some other works. It at least lives up to some of its hype, so I'm not really bothered by people taking a liking to it. I thought it took way too long for the movies to catch up to the quality of the books though. And just when I thought Deathly Hallows was going to be a cynical cash grab for being extended into two parts, instead it turned out to be the most faithful and best adaptation yet. Maybe the other movies should have received the same treatment. |

| I only liked the first movie because I watched it while I was a kid, so it was fresh. I enjoyed the fourth one the most. The fifth one being the weakest. Overall I didn't really love the franchise that much, and the magic kinda bored me sometimes. The story line wasn't engaging enough to me. |
 |
| Yes, it was an ok book series when i read it as a kid, it was an ok film series towards the end but all in all its just a story that basically takes bits and bats of better stories and smooshes them together with wands. I mean talking spiders in an creepy forest, Tolkien called, he wants his plot back. |
 |
| The movies were mediocre. Definitely overrated from all the hype on the books. The books on the other hand deserve the praise and recognition. |
| The movies are bad, but the books are fine. It was hugeee for the fantasy genre so I have no problems with that. I read all of them, just not the biggest fan like others. |
| After the second movie, I got really disinterested in the series. But the sixth movie was great. The only HP movies I care for are the 1st, 2nd, and 6th one. The series is definitely is overhyped. |
| The movies, yes; the books, no. |
| Hey you! Yeah, you. lets hug it out bitch. |
| I still haven't watched the last movie. I started losing interest when they stopped showing us what they do in school (the most fun part about this series) so around the 3rd or 4rd everything went downhill for me and I stopped caring. |
| No i just think its hard to remember everything that happened in it so iif anyone has a bad memory its like "wtf is going on?" |

I just stick to the books. I remember when the first 2 harry potter movies were happy and cheerful (with something bad happening at the end but gets happy again), but 3 onwards it all went dark. Although the movies were still good, the books were better. |
 |
| I like the third and eighth movies a lot, the rest are meh. I love the books though, they were my childhood. |
 |
| The series deserves every bit of praise it gets. It is truly a spectacular work of fiction. |
 |
| The movies are good, but everyone who has read the books think they are vastly superior, no doubt. |
| The books: Absolutely not! J K Rowling is a literary genius. The films: Absolutely overrated. The first 5 didn't do the books justice. |
| Nah, it's a good series. Movies suck though. |

| Harry Potter wasn't that great. Didn't they get another actor to play Gandalf as well? Because the previous one died or something? |
 |
| I enjoyed reading the books. I absolutely hated the movies. It really wasn't what I envisioned it to be. |
| I fucking love HP. Watch it everynight. I buy a lot of HP merchandise. But nothing comes before my love for anime. |
 |
| Hell no. It's an amazing series. In fact the best series, to me at least. I can re-read it 10 times and it'll never get old. It's a beautiful series, with funny characters, cute romance, epic action. So no, it's not overrated. The movies were good in the beginning and they actually chose actors at the right age for the movies, unlike some others were they're supposed to be 12, but the actors are 20. -.- The actors suited the characters as well themselves. Also they did a pretty good job. But overall Harry Potter deserves every bit of it's popularity. |

| The movies or the books? The Movies were overrated, although I still enjoyed them. The books were absolutely correctly rated and deserved all the hype and critical acclaim it got. Wonderful books that are very hard to put down. Probably some of the most fun books I have ever read. |
| agreed with others books, no. movies, yes. i don't even think of the movies are overrated - most people were excited to see them, including me, but i don't think they received much over/under praise simply b/c they were.... harry potter! |

| Read the books back in elementary school and are what got me into reading. The movies are poor adaptations and I do believe they are overrated. The books are well rated not the best thing in the world but fine books for kids that just getting in to bigger books. |
Have you worshiped our Empress today? |
| Well, movies maybe,but books are amazing :D |
| I think it's a little overrated, especially regarding the movies. The books are good, but since the 5th volume it started to get disappointing. Some HBP parts are an exception, though. |

Keetriver said: The ending was just so cringe worthy it made it hard to rewatch/reread the series. This . I was so disapointed My brother reading me Harry Potter before I go to sleep is part of my sweetest childhood memories . If I had childrens around 8/9 or so I would definetly read it to them , but that's about it . |
