You know, I am actually not a fan of fantasy, either, but I enjoyed the HP series. [Stupid LJ, taking an enter as a sign to post my comment when I wasn't finished. Grr.] Anyway, what I was going to say was that while I like the occasional scifi read/film - mostly of the dystopian or alternate history variety - I really don't like fantasy. Wizards and elves and magic and dragons and whatnot never really did it for me. But I found that HP is much more of a classic story and social commentary that happens to be wrapped in a wizard's cloak.
