[HPFGU-Texas] Digest Number 97

Well.....

Since it's been a LOOOOONG time since I gave my intro, I'll just do that 
right now.

My name's Tracy, I'm a month away from turning 34, married, no kids, live in 
Houston.  Both my husband and I are Harry Potter fans, me more so than my 
husband though.  

When the books first came out, and got popular, I blew it all off as just 
another kid fad like Pokemon or something.  It wasn't until right before the 
third book was released that a friend convinced me to read the first two books, 
because she had picked the first one up for "easy" reading on a long trip and 
realized that it wasn't just for kids and was an amazing fantasy story.  I 
picked up the first book, read it over a period of two days, and finished the 
second by the end of the week.  I borrowed the next two as my mother in law got 
them (she is a fan too) and for Christmas the year Goblet of Fire was out, my 
husband bought me all 4 books in hardback.  And then we were at the bookstore 
well before midnight for the book release party last Summer when Order of the 
Phoenix came out.  

My favorite of the 5 current books is Goblet of Fire.  My favorite of the 3 
current movies is Prisoner of Azkaban.   I really don't have one absolute 
favorite character, but I am partial to the Weasley twins, Prof. Snape, and 
Dumbledore.  My husband likes Hagrid and Ron.  

I only have one other friend offline who's a major Harry Potter fan.  All the 
others have either seen the movies or their kids read the books and they just 
can't get into it.

Tracy
