[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really liked it (still do), and I read the books as an adult, but before I had kids. And I am a reader who doesn't mind heavy lifting, reads the classics regularly, and reads in multiple languages. I didn't have issues with the writing, and the imaginative world captured me completely. [/quote]
Ditto.  They came out when I was in my mid-twenties - LOVED them.  The first one is written much more simplistically.  But, don't we all want to be the picked on kid who gets to go live in a castle and learn magic?[/quote]

Came out in my 30's and I was already married and was a mom.  I read the first book after several books were already out. I wanted to see what JKR had written, so that I could pen something similar and resign from my soul sucking job! LOL.  I mean how difficult could it be to write a children's book?  I finished the first one and it was pretty nice.  I immediately went and bought the next one and then the next. I told my office that I had the  flu and took leave to veg at home and binge read the first five.  Before I knew it I was a potter fan.  Everytime a book got released, DH stood in the line at midnight and presented me with the book in the morning.  He also got me favorite takeout and took care of the kids for the next 2-3 days so that I could read it non-stop.  I also continued to take sick leave to finish the books and escape from the worst boss of my entire career.   LOL.  Later we could preorder from Amazon.  I loved it and my kids loved it but they did not turn into a potter fan like I did.  For me this was the most magical book ever written.  Interestingly, in my hell-hole of an office with a psychotic bitch of a boss (who was very short in stature),   there were many people who were also demoralized and they also became die-hard Potter fans.

Your DH is awesome![/quote]
