I'm surprised that its the Philosophers stone actually, I would be more inclined to vote for Prisoner of Azkaban or Goblet of Fire.... Maybe they had to choose from a list and it was limited? :unsure: I'm not saying its a bad book of course, I love all the Harry Potter books, but considering this vote is coming from adults, I thought that maybe the last three were more darker and adult orientated.

Cool! I'm also surprised that GoF or PoA weren't in the list...maybe they weren't included in the choices?

Bridget Jones rules!!  I must say I was quite surprised when I read this right now...
i mean Harry Potters a great book, but I would rather say that books 3 to 5 could interest adults because of their more adult content...

Hmm that's cool, but I would have thought that women would have Hp higher on the list than the men, but whatever....

i used to work for tesco (Evil company) and when they did surveys like this they used to have a list to choose from. i am suprosed that the put P/S and not POA or GOF or even OOTP on the list but it just shows that HArry potter isnt just for wee kiddies.
