woah thats so cool! hary potter books rock! first?

yeah! super!

Of course it was hp! We aussies know a good book when we see one ;P

Well, that's no surprise! Yay!!

That is so cool, WOW!

That is so cool, WOW!

Yep, not at all surprised. Funny how Ciaran put "Harry Potter (of course) won". If it weren't /that/ would be news.

Umm... DUH! I laughed when I saw the heading for this one. Australian kids love Harry Potter? EVERYONE should love Harry Potter! But it's cool to hear about stuff like this. Especially if you live in Australia. Come to think of it... I want to go to Australia! Yeah. Definitely. Going to Australia now.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. Go HP. :D

It irks me how the people conducting the poll were 'surprised' to see 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and books similar to it in the list. It just shows how children are being underestimated and patronized even today. ¬__¬

Man, people here in my country think that reading classics is extremely "uncool". I really like this about the Australian kids.

I've read just about everything, well, getting into Stephen King books recently, but yeah, I like the austrian kids for liking Harry Potter. I wonder if J.K. Rowling ever thought her books would carry her this far along the road. Can't wait for book 7. =P

Hahaha thats so true, I'm from Sydney and I cant be f***ed to read anything else other than HP

Coolness! GO AUSTRALIANS!! (even though i'm in th US...)

And yet the release date for the OOTP movie is still two months behind everyone else. I read in a survey somewhere that a larger proportion of people (not just children) had read the potter book than in any other country.

wow thats so cool !! but theres allways harry potter fans no matter where you go :D

well obviously harry potter would win! but it's is rather surprising that in today's society teens enjoy books such as to kill a mockingbird so much. it's one of my favorites but it IS rather surprising...

I'm not very surprised considering how they counted all of the Harry Potter books as one whole thing.

australian kids must be really cool if they like classics...not many people i know like classics AND harry potter...well, except me...

itz obvious that potter is the best book.there is no doubt abt it.so the australians must b really cool!our potter is worth getting universal love isnt he??

I love Harry Potter and all but, I absolutely adore To Kill A Mockingnird. I'm not surprised that Harry Potter won though. :]

No suprises there!!!

Woot down under. I so wanna go there

as much as i love hp its good to hear that classic books made that list as well...to kill a mockingbird is such a good book!

wow that's great! and its also great to hear kids are not only reading excellent classics but loving them too!

what a coincidence that the top three books were the biggest blockbuster movies of the year. NOT. The kids probably voted for those books because they saw the movies. I hope they actually read the books. Atleast the movies are encouraging some of them to read.

First, yay for HP! Second, with regard to To Kill a Mockingbird and Pride and Prejudice: Yes, amazing that kids actually enjoy reading a good story, isn't it? It's so frustrating that adults seem incapable of the realization that kids do actually have brains and/or not everyone is constantly drooling after media stupidity! *mutter mutter* Anyway, good for the Australian kids!

It makes me so mad that people don't think kids read good books like To Kill a Mockingbird! That is a wonderful book! And DUH! was anyone suprised that Harry Potter won??? Yeah I didn't think so.

DUH!!!

of course!!

Its not really a fair survey really i mean it is but less known books dont have a chance against HP now they should conduct a survey where HP isnt an option (just my opinion)

yay!! i'm not really surprised HP made number 1. i'm a little upset Catcher in the Rye didn't make it. i love that book.

I'm not surprised Harry Potter made #1. It's an awesome series. Of course, I'm speaking as a fan myself, but still...lol. Oh, I'm also not surprised that "To Kill A Mockingbird" was on the list, it's an awesome book as well. :)

go hp!why were they stunned to see 'to kill a mockingbird' on the list?i love that book and always will(just like hp)!:)

WOW!!!! cool! harry potter rules the world!

go hp! ppl all around the world recognize its awesomeness!

Obviously!my cousins are australian and they love hp(well the older 2 anyway!)it's cool about "To Kill a Mockingbird" as well,I think it's so good!(",)

I'm not too surprised about HP being at the top, but wow! 23 Australian authors out of 50? Must go check out some of those books...

They should do that in the Netherlands... I think Harry Potter would be one of three books from non-Dutch writers. Funny to see that the Aussies love HP so much and they get the movies ages after we do. I feel pity for them.

I read part of To kill a mockingbird and it was soooooooo booooooooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg!!!!!!! I'm not surprised that Harry Potter was at the top though:)

yea...Australian kids are pretty beastly

I had to read "To Kill a Mockingbird" for my english exam in the summer, it was actually pretty good, but it starts off being really confusing.

To Kill a Mockingbird was one of the only good books that i have ever read in school and it sure beats Great Expectations i despise charles dickens works but yeah GO HP and to think if it wasnt for my aunt and my elementary teacher i wouldnt even be into these books

Cool news :))) Well, of course, HP got the first place - who could have doubted - and who wouldn't give it the first place? ;) But really good to hear people are still reading something - like Jane Austen, e.g., a huge fan of hers, as well, as of Jo's :) Just great. And... need to try something by Australian authors, haven't read anything... So far ;)

I LOVE Pride and Prejudice!!!!!!!

Cool!!!!!!!!! It's awesome that there are so many readers out there (not that I didn't know that, I mean look at all of the fan sites)!!!!!!!!!!

lol I actually love the title of this. "Australian kids love Harry Potter"? ALL kids love harry potter. pah. i dunno, just an odd statement.

That's cool...but kids in other countries like Harry Potter too! Like us kids ((well...teens...or whatever)) in the USA!! ...well...me anyway...lol

I suppose that Aussies have good taste in books. I wonder what Americans would vote for. Seeing as though most poeple that I know don't like Harry Potter, maybe it would be The Cronicles of Narnia of something.

mugglecast! mugglecast! where is mugglecast!?
