2 - Yeah, that's kinda what I figure I would read/watch them for. I know a couple people who have read the Harry Potter series and the Twilight series, and they have all said the HP series is actually well thought out story lines and enjoyable, and the Twilight series tries way too hard to be Harry Potter, yet not Harry Potter, and fails MISERABLY! And, like you said, it's basically a crack!fic series of books. It's defiantly a book that's most enjoyable for tweens (yes, tweens, not teens), according to my friends. Yet, they said it was kinda worth reading for how crack it was *lol*
