Obviously it ultimately depends on personal taste. But I disagree with the part about the premise of the books being "designed to get children reading more." While it may have been a side effect of the books, certainly, I don't think that HP "designed" to be something that got kids reading more. JK Rowling wrote them for the same reason any author writes a book-- that they're compelled to tell a story. Kids (and not-kids) just happened to like them THAT much.
