I think Harry Potter is, far and away, one of the best children's series there is right now, especially because adults CAN enjoy it. Putting aside the issues I've had with the last film in particular, though, one thing I've noticed is that they seem hard to get into for anyone that hasn't...

Niiice first article. Interesting timing too, I'd just noticed something similar today, at my local games shop. I was waiting for a friend, and looking for a game. Eventually I settled on the new Ace Attorney game, because I like the series so far and several friends recommended that...
