saw somewhere that new folks are supposed to say hi and say a couple 
things about themself so...
MWM age 26 w/1 daughter (6yo)

and in what seems to be more typical than I ever dreamed....
I had heard tons of "Potter hype" and asked my mother for Sorcerer's 
Stone as a X-mas gift this past year
well I recieved not only that but all the books for Christmas with 
the one condition being that I would allow her to read them as I 
finished...
I started reading Book I to my 6yo and she seemed interested but I 
couldn't keep her interested...it got to the point I was forcing the 
issue...so I finally stopped and put the book down for several months 
completely
Fast Forward to late March early April
I picked the first book back up as a solo venture and began chapter a 
night reading once more...until I got to diagon alley...
well for me the book took off from there as did my desire to read it
I have since finished all 4 of the main books and the 2 Comic Relief 
UK books...and now am seeking out places like this to fill my "Potter 
Need"
Interesting Note...around the time I finished Book III my wife began 
Book I and has since finished the series...she has no desire to read 
the supplements as she has "Read the best parts" upon further 
questioning...she skipped Quidditch Through the Ages completely and 
only read the notes in the Margins of Magical Beasts hehe
and of course with both Mom and Dad reading Harry Potter the 6yo was 
feeling left out so...whenever someone had a book in their hand they 
had to read out loud for everyone and of course answer questions as 
they arose...so Me and my wife have both read them and our 6yo has a 
vague understanding...and of course we have set a date with each 
other for the much anticipated arrival of the movie
well that about says it all for "Me and Harry Potter" guess I get to 
go browse through all Umpteen Thousand Messages now... :P
