When I started reading PS I knew by the end of chapter one that I had 
to get hold of the rest of the books that were out at that time (CoS, 
PoA and GoF - I was a late starter!) So I rated it pretty high.  I'm 
still very fond of it just because it was the first and a wonderful 
surprise.  I voted for PoA on the poll.  My ratings would go from 
merely high for PS and CoS to something well above high for PoA and 
almost as much for GoF.  Its pretty difficult to choose between them 
though.

Having said that I think that I've probably under-rated CoS.  I 
suspect there is a lot more in it that first met the eye.
