 I am also new.  My husband thinks I'm a complete freak for my addiction and
love of Harry Potter.  I love the movies, but they do nothing for the books
at all.  I've read the first 4 books 3 times (I'm such a novice compared to
most here!)... but am really struggling to re-read 5... it just wasn't my
favorite at all.  The angst in the book.... yuck... but I will read it
again, especially after joining this list and seeing so much that I just
don't recall.
 
I've just helped my 7 year old son through reading ps/ss.  We watch the
movies together and he'd ask questions about it... the why's and all...and
I'd tell him well, the books have so much more detail... etc etc... and
never really answer him... so that got him going on the desire to read.
I've (unfortunately ???) gotten my 3 year old son completely hooked on the
series too.  He loves the movies and he payed some attention to reading the
books.  It's more his thing than my 7 year olds... but they both enjoy it.  
 
Not as much as their Mom does though.
