I think it is a favorite for a lot of people, but it waned a little bit after the movie series finished, and the new books/movies haven't really made anyone go "OMG Harry Potter is back!" It is sort of floundering as a series right now with bad new content, but the original books were incredible.Amagine wrote:I'm actually shocked there aren't more people listing Harry Potter as their favorite. I consider Harry Potter supernatural because being able to cast spells and transform into wolves or rats, isn't really natural.

I agree with you. I liked the Fantastic Beasts movie but The Cursed Child (or whatever it was called) wasn't very good in my opinion. Also, Harry Potter is starting to wane down. Children coming up now aren't really as interested in the series.James Craft wrote:I think it is a favorite for a lot of people, but it waned a little bit after the movie series finished, and the new books/movies haven't really made anyone go "OMG Harry Potter is back!"

Tru Blood, haha the first time I saw Michone of The Walking DeadMarisaRose wrote:Amagine wrote:My favorite supernatural series is The Magicians (if that counts). I also enjoy reading the Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries (from True Blood). Those books are packed with different types of supernaturals.
I also really liked the Skokie Stackhouse series! Now that you mention it, some of Harris' writing reminds me a lot of Raven's Peak!

I think you're both right, but I also think how deep people went into Harry Potter varies from person to person. Obviously, there are some intense Potterheads but I think part of its strength as a phenomenon was that everybody interacted with the series, even if it was just a bit. I liked the books, but I stopped reading at The Goblet of Fire, and moved on to something else. I think a lot of people might have had my same experience.Amagine wrote:I agree with you.

You're right. Even though I read the books and watched some of the movies, I wasn't heavily invested in it like other readers. I think that now that people aren't really reading the books as much now, it is losing some of its strength.3c_robles wrote:I think you're both right, but I also think how deep people went into Harry Potter varies from person to person.

In the most recent ones, I liked the books 'Roan' and 'Raven's Peak'.MarisaRose wrote:Raven's Peak certainly falls into the supernatural/thriller category. I've always enjoyed the supernatural thriller genre both in literature and TV/film. Some of my all time favorites are anything by H.P. Lovecraft and the television show The X-Files.
What are some of your favorites?
My reviews of them are here:
Raven's Peak: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=42060
Roan: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=41119
Thanks for asking.

Supernatural is my all time favorite TV series. I LOVE IT. The characters are perfect and to get so lost in a character that leaves the show. The actors are not only good at the show, but wonderful people.
Other tv series I enjoyed a lot as a kid was Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Charmed.
Nowadays, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Witches of the East End, even Teen Wolf wasn't too bad.
