I didn't think Harry Potter was so much about "coincidences" as it was really well-planned writing with an effort at symbolism and overall thoughtfulness. You can tell by reading the entire series that J.K. Rowling put a LOT of effort into thinking about the books, and she pretty much had the whole plot down pat in the early stages of writing. HP is anything but arbitrary. The Deathly Hallows was like the culmination of answers to nagging questions you had in your head for 10 years - ultimately I was pretty satisfied with how everything was concluded.
Like Teesa said, I can't really offer you anything else to read because, although HP is a fantasy series, it deserves its own category. ANYBODY can read Harry Potter...in fact, I know every type of person that reads Harry Potter. At the end of the day, HP readers have vastly different tastes, except for one common love for HP. In fact, I might even ask you to avoid other fantasy series if you really love HP because you'll just be disappointed, especially if you didn't like fantasy to begin with. |
