Well of course it is! What else do you expect? I mean, last night HP was the second best movie of the year, right after Star Wars.
Not much of a shocker there.

Yeah, it's the best book. What, did they think that some almost non-existent book would come and beat the famous Harry Potter? Yeah right! If that happened, I would pack up all of my stuff and become a nomad living off of berries and nuts, never stopping until I have reached the author and apologized, though the author would have a big body guard and I would be beaten to a pulp before getting to say my due. I'm very dramatic, aren't I?

^ I started late with HP as well. I got spoilered thoroughly before I started reading but I still loved them. Yay for HBP - my favourite.

Harry Potter should definitely be at the top of the list, especially with all these other books they're coming out with that are complete rubbish. Harry Potter is definitely the best book of 2005

It totally deserves the best book of 2005 title, because that's what it was! I'm not sure if it's the best harry potter book ever I think My vote still goes to The Order of the Phoenix.

Yeah, theres no way it wouldnt be number one. so many people are finally realizing how good HP is and for most people, number 6 was the favorite.

Well, duh! As if it comes as a surprise to any of us on HPANA that HBP came out on top. I'm also less than surprised at some of the slams mentioned, but I couldn't care less about them. :-)
