 In the case of me & my husband, yeah! Well, not entirely, but even 
though our Harry is only 18 months, we've read all the HP books to 
him (not that he understands them...) and he is already well versed 
in our favotite picture books - ferdinand, babar, etc.
We're pretty intense collectors of children's books (me), comic books 
(aaron) and disney movies (both) - and now we have a receptive 
audience for our stuff!
