Hi everyone!

Amazing as it may seem, less than a month ago I had only a subliminal,
if any, awareness of JK Rowling and Harry Potter. I was given the
Philosopher's Stone on 12th May, for my birthday the next day, and even
then didn't start reading the thing immediately. And, look at me now -
a half-crazed fanatic!

Anyway, as I'm still fairly new to this club, it would be good to hear
from other members about how they got into Harry Potter in the first place
(with apologies if you've been through this before).

I've already noticed that most of you are women (five points to
Gryffindor!) and concluded that most of you are either parents, teachers,
writers or witches (or all of the above) and that many of you were,
like me, introduced to the books by another fan.

I'd like to know how you felt reading the books for the first time,
and when you realised this was no ordinary experience...

Also, do any other authors grab you in quite same way?

Neil
