I'm going to give it to you straight: you may never find another series like the Harry Potter books.

A Series of Unfortunate Events just premiered on Netflix and it has everyone talking about the modern classic book series again! A Bad Beginning was first published in 1999, but these books do not feel 20 years old, and their popularity seems to keep increasing.
