in every book except 4th through 7th are the typical story you get in trouble and then you find out at the last second you were wrong and they save the day at the last moment and everyone is ok thats the only part that 4-7 dont follow is no one getting killed or hurt (main characters) but im not saying the harry potters series is not good its my favorite books of all tiome and would have to say it would be difficult for othe books to beat this series im just sayin that JKR follows a simple formula
