I finally did it!

What did I do, you ask?  Well, I have finally gotten one of my friends hooked on HP!!  I've been bugging him all summer to read SS, and when he finally did, he said he couldn't put it down and finished it that same day.  Then he took me with him to buy CoS on Saturday, and he just called me and told me he finished it yesterday and he loved it.  Now he's upset because he can't find PoA in the library, but I told him he could borrow mine, even though it's falling apart from being read so many times :).
I am very proud of myself for finally getting someone else to read these books and realize that I'm really not completely insane.  I'm also quite proud of my friend.  He's showing the makings of a true HP fanatic.  He said he called me today with some burning questions:  first, why did Hermione get sorted into Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw?  Good question, I told him, and then I proceeded to summarize many of the points that everyone on our list has made on this topic.  Then he asked what happened to Hagrid, since he got his name cleared in CoS.  I told him he would just have to read PoA to find out.  And THEN he asked me if Harry ever ends up with Ginny!  Instead of going into a great shipping frenzy, though, I restrained myself and simply said that we didn't know yet.
He has also said that he has other books from the library, but he absolutely can't read them until he finishes the 3rd and 4th HP books.
Yes, I say, definitely the signs of a future HP4GU member.  But we'll take it one step at a time.

Aren't you all so proud of me?
