It'll be on one of those credit card commercials and the ending will be "...sitting by cozy fireplace with the adventures of Harry Potter at your fingertips, priceless" haha

I think it will be like the 'older' books that we have today.
People in the future will be forced to read them and hardly understand them cause the language is 100 years old.
Some will enjoy Harry Potter, while others won't.
So, it will be between 'Genius' and 'Trash'.
That's just my thought.

Impossible to say. A book written a hundred years ago could have had the critics of that time expecting no one to even have heard of it now and it could still be a fairly well known book. Or it could have been expected to be something everyone would be reading and no one even remembers it anymore.
Harry Potter could end up any of these, or none. It could be viewed as having been a sensation of this time period that is worth the occasional reader, but not an absolute must read. Or it could become a series that has to be read in school, and thus one that many school children in a hundred years will resent being forced to read. It could even be so cherished as to be something parents see as having to get for bed time reading to their kids cause they can remember their parents reading it to them (and their grandparents to their parents and great grandparents to their grandparents) Who really is to say what the view of the series will be in a hundred years.

Lets find out, meet me on the hill in the mourn and we shalt travle in my time machine.
I doubt it will be forgotten because 100 years is not that long, Harry Potter will be given to the children of people who read it today thus will survive.

Totally forgotten. I'd like to say that's because the world suddenly got a brain and realized how crappy those books are, but sadly, we are scheduled to blow up the Earth in 2035 to coincide with Armageddon and the Second Coming.

They'll be forgotten except as a publishing phenomenon.

Who knows. But save your first edition just in case.

it could be really um "rare" (save your copies :D) or it could be completely cheesy to some people because there might be "better" stories && such in the future

A phenomenon of the past. I don't think they'll be classics, but don't mind me...I'm biased...I think they're rubbish!
