HI all,,,,, This is also MY first post to the list (HI HI).. I know this 
wont be my last that is for sure.....I'm Mae......
My 11 yr old son and I have been trying to det my hubby to read the HP books 
ever since my son got his copies of the first three books going on two 
christams' ago.,... but hubby is not a big reader so he just promised and 
never did,.,,,, Well this past Jan we moved from Pa. to Ga. and I talked him 
into buying book one on tape for the ride down with the boys.. Hubby is now 
a big fan and his fav. character is Hagrid... We went and saw  Atlantis (on 
it's opening nite-- it was a good moie BTW) and hubby who had never seen the 
trailers was just rooted to his seat with his mouth open... He was so 
excited after that trailer... When we got home from Atlantis hubby ran right 
to the computer and went to the HP site became a Hogworts student got a wand 
and played on the site for a good hour.. Now everydau I here.. "When's the 
movie? I have to wait how long??" Another Hp fan is born LOL...
Mae
