I read the first three books in ECUADOR. The fourth came out while I was still down there and someone got a hold of it. I had to barter with the owner so I could jump the enormous line of people trying to borrow it from her and get to read it after her. The price? And entire costco-sized jumbo bag of chocolate chips. My non-reader husband loves them too (once I got him hooked). Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the ONLY thing that has ever waited in line for at midnight. And he waited with a bunch of people dressed up like wizards. If you know him, you'll know what a huge sacrifice that was...and that it is a testament to his love for the series. So obviously, we're huge Potterheads at our house, but it's okay if you don't feel the same. Some people just have better taste than others ;) MindySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122081120154598894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-35014939692060351152013-03-25T07:33:06.930-07:002013-03-25T07:33:06.930-07:00Let me just say THANK YOU!

I wasn't sure if I was missing something, or if there was something wrong with me, but I just didn't fall into the obsessive about this series category.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817140782343729109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-24139222455300387902013-03-25T07:25:49.949-07:002013-03-25T07:25:49.949-07:00It's okay.

I would have felt the same way, if I read them without the suspense.. but I did read them with suspense, so I was sobbing over Dumbledore and eating those jelly beans.

I read them in one fell swoop in advance of its release. For a similar reason - they got my nephew to read. I wanted to know what got that boy into a book. I enjoyed them but I will be forever grateful to her for what she did for all of those children who DIDN'T read before and now do. That is far more powerful than any one book or series of books.brokenteepeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907414560986208401noreply@blogger.com
