I mean, I guess I'm sad they never got to go to the midnight release parties and be surrounded by a crow of people who are just as excited about Harry Potter as you are. I mean, I know they do that for those Twilight books and I think for Mockingjay, but it isn't on par with Harry Potter.<br /><br />That said, I am so glad Erin is discovering the magic of Harry Potter. I am slightly jealous you get to read these books for the first time.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-15714968779040910712011-03-03T10:40:22.825-06:002011-03-03T10:40:22.825-06:00Love this post!!! Welcome welcome new Harry Potter...Love this post!!! Welcome welcome new Harry Potter fan, I love this series sooo much it's my favorite ever. I don't know why so many people don't want to read it, even though it's a children's book I think it appeals to everyone and the story just gets better and better. I love it more than chocolate cover strawberries and cupcakes, and that's saying a lot!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056849961265154292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-61732611479026343612011-03-03T03:23:28.096-06:002011-03-03T03:23:28.096-06:00Harry Potter is always going to be an absolute fav...Harry Potter is always going to be an absolute favorite of mine. I started reading the series before it became super popular. I started after book 2 but before book 3 was released and just fell in love. So, I went through that crazy hype and excitement with all of the books. <br /><br />But even better than that, I was in 5 or 6 grade when I first read Harry Potter. And, I was 18, maybe 19 when the final book came out. So I literally grew up with Harry, Hermione, Ron and all the rest. I was always close in age to the characters, and they were an integral and important part of growing up for me! Love Harry Potter! So excited you are reading them, and Ginger!! Seriously. You must read. One of the few times that nothing about the hype is wrong.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895603279815878376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-62673600328461983852011-03-02T22:35:02.263-06:002011-03-02T22:35:02.263-06:00Hi Jackie!

She actually just read a chapter to me now - I read on my own during the week, but we Skype every Wed night and she reads whatever chapter I'm on to me then :) It's awesome, really.

Does she still read the series to you online? Do you wait for that one day a week to read the book or do you read some of the book on your own during the rest of the week? Is she reading the *entire* series to you or was it just a way to introduce you to the first book? I don't even know if my questions are making sense, heh.Jackiehttp://booksntea.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-22195403386500169972011-03-02T19:08:57.977-06:002011-03-02T19:08:57.977-06:00Oh Harry Potter.

At my 16h birthday party, my friend Ami decides that I deserve to be introduced to the awesomeness of HP and then BOOM! I'm blindsided and get the first two books! I finished them both the following day. :) I only recently bought the third book this past week. Can't wait to read it. :)<br /><br />~KelsaKelsa P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18044152309528988879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-65738828246516958012011-03-02T15:57:50.175-06:002011-03-02T15:57:50.175-06:00Yay, a convert!

I've read the first book a whopping eleven times - I actually reread the series every year.
