I've never obsessed over anything before I encountered HP.  (That 
contradiction did take longer than 5 minutes, though).  <bg>

Seriously, my husband obsesses, reading "Dune" until the pages fell 
out, for instance.  He owns multiple copies of his favorite books, 
and just picks them up, opens them, and dives in.  He read HP once, 
and he hasn't touched it since.

I, on the other hand, tend to read something once and move on.  I had 
to read HP to the kids, though, and that second reading got me 
hooked.  I haven't been hooked on anything like HP for about 30 
years.  

So, go figure.
