Harry Potter Books

I have recently come to the realization that after the 3rd Harry Potter book (Prisoner of Azkaban, I think), the books rapidly decreased in quality (I mean, book 7 had like 200 pages of utter bullsh!t as they sat around and talked). And they kinda became more depressing (cool people died, uncool people didn't). And then the patheticness that was the epilogue of book 7.

I think what I'm trying to say is that the Thursday Next series is much better than the Harry Potter series.
