The Harry Potter series is more than one book, and the overall page count for the series is huge. I think if you read even one of them, it should count as full credit. Besides, Harry Potter is not exactly a classic deserving of inclusion with Dickens. In fact, why is Harry Potter number 4 on this list? Is the BBC seriously trying to imply that it's the 4th most important piece of literature, and should be read by all good Englishmen?
