Intro and Inquiry

[Sabrina]

Hello HPfGU members!  My name is Sabrina and I live sunny Orlando, I 
am a  fairly new HP fan.  I got into the stories this past 
Thanksgiving, when my 15 year old cousin asked for POA Dvd as a 
birthday gift.  She of course is a huge fan of the HP stories, and 
convinced me to read the first book to see that its not a "kiddy" 
book.  She knew I liked adventure/fantasy stories..eg. Lord of the 
Rings.  After reading the first book, I moved on to the second...then 
watched the first two films, before moving on to the third book, 
which I finished around Christmas.  I recently saw the POA movie, and 
have started the fourth book (almost half way through already, I just 
can't put it down!)  Needless to say, I find myself anticipating the 
fourth film and reading the other books.  My profile name 
(weasleywellwisher) is based on the fact that I immediately fell in 
love with the Weasley family in the books, as well as the films. I 
think the way JKR has given character, personality, and support to 
these characters is (as my fave Ron would say)....Wicked!  My inquiry 
to you all is....was anyone (over 18) reluctant about reading what is 
known as a "childrens" book?
