Harry Potter

A reasonable series of fantasy books that got blown way out of proportion by the media. Generally admired by the less widely read and often criticised by life-long fantasy lovers because it's just not that good.
They revolve around a boy who discovers magic and grows up along the way. He encounters evil people who are BAD and good people who are good and even a couple of genuinely interesting multi-faceted characters like Snape.

Bob: Harry Potter's pretty rubbish
Fan: Have you even read the books?
Bob: Yes. Have you read any other fantasy books to compare it with?
Fan: Erm... I read the hobbit at school...
Bob: Fail.
