I think my husband is on about the same ecological niche as yours, Penny.
He has read them all (mostly because he was alternating with me on reading
them to the kids) but he got interested enough to read ahead of where we
were on reading to the kids.  And he did read GoF before we read it to our
oldest daughter (not the youngest) because I wanted his opinion on whether
our oldest could handle the ending.

But he has not re-read them as I have.  Enjoyed them but not obsessed.
