I\'ve read all 7, and while I\'m no die hard fan, the story line is great. You have to be interested to like them though. Oh, and the whole gay Dumbledore thing is ridiculous. JK Rowling says he is. I don\'t know what she\'s thinking. There is absolutely no indication in any of the books that he is gay. I therefore don\'t think of him as gay just becuz the author says he is.
