Harry Potter madness
I have to admit it - I've not read any of the Harry Potter books, but I've had them reccomended to me by millionaire business starters, and executive managers in fiance, and just people and children. I've had parents tell me of non-readers that have become readers because of these books.
So, have you read the books? or like me, just have seen two or three of the movies.?
Now that the set is complete, are you thinking about starting and reading them one after the other?
Just curious,
Are you part of it, or just an observer of
"Harry Potter madness"?

Re: Harry Potter madness
I read and enjoyed the first four books. The fifth was so bad that I refused to buy it, and stopped reading the series.
What I hear about the remaining two is tempting me to read them after all, simply to finish the series. I might just go and borrow them first.

Re: Harry Potter madness
I read the first five. I didn't notice anything wrong with the 5th one Firlefanz! I read it when it first came out though, so honestly, I can hardly remember what it was about.
My oldest brother didn't start reading them unitl last year. On our family thanksgiving vacation, he finished up what he had left of book 5 and nearly finished book 6! He had his nose in it the whole time.
I do want to read the last two, just haven't recieved the family copy of book 6 yet. This time though, we didn't pre-order book 7. I think only my mom and brother have finished book 6 so there wasn't a huge rush for the next one. My aunt couldn't even get through the first one. The rest of the family did get through book 5.
I like them, but I don't consider myself to be part of the "madness"!

Re: Harry Potter madness
When they first came out I ignored the books completely then the kids begged to see the first film. I saw it and then read book one and loved it. I have read them all in fact I am guilty of ordering the last one way back in January and sat by the mail box until it got here Saturday. Finished it last night.
There are some really good little pearls of magical lore and lessons hidden in the fiction.
Of course this is from a woman that the only other series I ever read was the JR Tolkien books. lol

Re: Harry Potter madness
Playfultree, that explains a strange phenomenon:
All boards have been exceedingly slow in posting since Saturday. Could it be fall-out from Harry Potter? Is everyone caught up in the books that they stop posting?
*laughs at herself*

It sold over 8 million copies here in the USA in less than 72 hours of its release.
I even made poor hubby cook and only left the book for a bathroom break and band camp sigh. Plus this one took longer to read hard to see though tears. I am such a silly thing.

Re: Harry Potter madness
Okay - sounds as if I may have to get book one and read it and see how it goes.
And I didn't think that Harry Potter may be keeping people from posting. I thought all the die-hard Potter friends did just like "tree and ate it up in one sitting.
So there are tears in the end, hmmmmmmm.....
