I've been reading the HP books lately for the first time. These pics nearly made me jump out of my skin~

What are the pictures? The link just took me to the Huffington Post site, an article about working out.

How are you finding the books? :)

It's an exercise article and the woman in the pictures is moving. I guess it's like animation except it's a photo, on a loop.

I like the books. I find them to too be child oriented for my tastes, but that only makes me admire her, since they are kid's books. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it through all 7 though. She manipulated the plot a lot and the characters are a bit flat, but the world is pretty interesting. I can see why the kids loved them.

Just looked at them again and it's obvious, it's just a video on a loop. The only difference is that you don't push play to make it start. LOL, I guess I just had HP on the brain.

Oh, I understand now. :lol:

I think the writing becomes more mature as you progress through the series, but I know it can be difficult to get that far as an adult.
I like that about them in a way, because a lot of the characters matured throughout the series, and a lot of the young readers as well, so it matches.

Yeah, it matched especially for me. I was always about the same age as the characters when a new book was getting out in my country. I got Prisoner of Azkaban and the earlier ones when I was 13 and I was getting a new book about every year since then. You can say I have grown up together with the characters.
