if they were THAT popular, they couldn't be too bad.

I can remember repeatedly slamming both Rowling and Rowling readers 
BEFORE I'd ever read the books. I hated the whole thing - too 
popular, too over the top fanatical....

Well well.

Then I got the PS DVD for my son, and watched it with him. "Hmm," I 
said to myself, "what's up with this?"

I bought the 4 books extent at the time, and read them all in a week.

I found HPfGU, butted heads with the moderatators and rules at the 
start, but found myself at home there eventually.

I was in the bookstore at midnight for Order of the Phoenix!

I became an elf on HPfGU!

And I will be in the bookstore at midnight for Half Blood Prince!
