of course normal people would chose it as the best book, they are the fans. when the editors do these things they are supposed to be open to everything and not caught up in their own LOVE FOR HP!!!!!!

Yeah! But of course, we all knew that it was one of the best books to read, didn't we? Although it's not my favorite, it is a very good book. My favorite is, and always has been, the first book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
