Just spent the summer and early fall reading them all.

They are a great read. Seven years of character and plot development.

Besides, she creates this amazing world of wizardy that is Tolkien-esque.

WOrth the time.

I read two of them for the first time this summer, too. I thought they were horribly written, but I also think Rowling has a talent for plot development, which was far and away the best part of the books. I shudder to think that kids read these and think they are good.

I appreciate the recommendation, thank you.  I loved Tolkien and read the entire series 4-5 times as a child.
