Ah, excellent! Let's see, that's two more (maybe three) who have fallen to 
our Master Plan to convert the entire world to Potter-holics. Things are 
proceeding nicely; I imagine at least half the world will have seen the 
Light by the time the fifth book comes out.

I'm proud to report that my addict (my brother) is doing very well. He's 
read the books several times now and everytime we talk on the phone, he asks 
if I know when the fifth book will be released. Furthermore, he's WORN A 
HARRY POTTER SHIRT TO SCHOOL! This is a *big* deal; Harry Potter at his 
school is way "uncool". He's been ribbed about it but doesn't mind; he keeps 
trying to tell his friends to read the books but as his friends hate 
reading, it's unlikely to happen.

*evil grin* And all this from a boy who professed to never read the books 
because they were too "popular".

I totally get you here. I've got a good friend who ONLY reads nonfiction. 
He's an autobiography addict. If it didn't happen, if the person isn't real, 
then he won't read it. He's said "Why read about something imaginary? Real 
Life is lots more exciting than anything anyone could dream up." Feh I say. 
I think to get him to read Harry Potter, I'd had to tie him down and force 
him to listen to the audio tapes (and since he's in Conneticut and I'm in 
Florida, that's unlikely to happen anytime soon).
