This book/series is just as great as I remember thinking it was when I first picked it up in middle school. I love the characters and the plot and everything about it, however, there a lot of parallels to Harry Potter. I mean, a main character with dark, messy hair that people complain about. A family full of ginger-haired, freckled-faced people. A dog with four names, two of which are Percival Pettigrew, I mean I could go on, lol. Maybe it was drawing inspiration but I know this might annoy a few people so I feel the need to point it out. I think this was always the part of the draw for me, though, why I was so invested in it in the first place. It's a great series, especially for middle grade students. Quick reads (even if the books are a little lengthy) that keep interest, for sure!
