[Nightfire]

I dodn't vote because there were more than three that are my fav series, trilogies, or novels. Lord of the Rings. Warriors. Redwall. Winnie the Pooh. Chronicles of Narnia. The list is endless! Anyhoo, I didn't vote because I love alot more than three.

What about Eragon? Thats one of my favorites

[Skalrag of Marshank]

I love Warriors, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Redwall, and Narnia.

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for a Language Arts project; we're supposed to read a banned/challenged book, write a summary of the book, and tell why we think it's banned/challenged. I've never read Harry Potter before, so I decided to check it out.

[Tiria Wildlough]

I'm not allowed to read Harry Potter.
I got the Eagle of the Ninth Trilogy for my birthday. I'll see how it is.

[Hari Ashsling]

Favorite series: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Redwall...and one that isn't on there: Bartimaeus Trilogy. Favorite single-novels/books: the Bible and Mara Daughter of the Nile.

[Hálig]

Well, I think it's obvious that I like Redwall cos I joined, right? So I picked Lord of the Rings, Narnia and Harry Potter.

Redwall first, then LOTR

Favorite single-novels/books: the Bible and Mara Daughter of the Nile.

Not Mara Daughter of the Nile! It brings back memories of history last year! I hated history last year!

I'm not allowed to read Harry Potter.

Same with me.

Same here. Not that I want to, really. It seems a bit too...demonic, once you've seen the tv commercials, so it completely put me off of reading the books. I'm not allowed to, anyway.

[Redwall Musician]

I don't want to read 'em either.

[Captain Tammo]

Can somebeast please put The Hunger Games up?

It's the later books that get darker, but I really don't get what's so demonic about Harry Potter, and if nothing else it's not like any individual entire book is like that. There's blood, yes, and some big deadly monsters, but I wager it's no worse than the many Orcs that get slain in Lord of the Rings. Just give Frodo a magic wand. Strip away the supernatural and you've honestly got a typical good-versus-evil tale. As you can tell, I'm flabbergasted on how Harry Potter can be banned when there's more brutal fantasy and realistic tales that get a free pass (read "The Grapes of Wrath" sometime). The only way I'd consider something demonic is if I was cringing as I read it. I never got that from Harry Potter. I did get that from "Plague Dogs" and some of the deaths in the Redwall book "The Rogue Crew". Speaking of which, "The Plague Dogs" is the most demonic-like book I've ever read. Couldn't get even a third of the way through, it's way too graphic and depressing. The film does a good job of conveying its content. Tell me Plague Dogs is not demonic and then look back at Harry Potter.

I voted for Redwall (duh) and Lord of the Rings (books are boring as heck, but the movies are quite engaging).

I'm not allowed to read Harry Potter because my parents say no, and I'm not allowed to read any books that are bad whatsoever (like Twilight). And honestly I don't want to read them anyways, I'm a very picky reader. We all have are own opinions, and choices. For some of us it's to not read Harry Potter.

Yeah, just like I have an extreme aversion to anything considered classical literature, just out of fear that it'd be pretentious or boring or both. I've always leaned towards animal books, and even when forced into a book with people I usually won't think of it being better than say Redwall even if it was entertaining. Richard Halliburton's "The Glorious Adventure" is a perfect example. It was published in 1927 and it's actually quite good. But I wouldn't want to read it again, I'd much rather read about a warrior mouse.

I don't feel like I'm missing out for ignoring the classics out there. I guess I wouldn't under any condition; I had no idea Redwall was missing from my life until I gave it a chance. Besides, there's plenty of other hidden treasures, so if you were to pass up something golden, there'd be another one on the next shelf you look at.
