> My husband thinks I'm an absolute "nutter" LOL so does other members of my family.  I don't care what anyone else thinks I      enjoy the books and movies.  Besides I can't get away from Harry    Potter because my  2yr old son absolutely  adores  the movies and  has even shown interest in the books and loves to be read from     Harry Potter. (He must have gotten it from me, go figure) And if   we are talking the movies (which is  for the other group) my       youngest is working on our second set of DVDs, he watches almost   daily (if I let him)

Anna:
My husband keeps asking me how many times I'm going to read "those
books" because I'm always carrying one around with me.  I began
reading the books just last year before the fourth movie came out.
I had read in a magazine article about how the movies leave so much
of the story out and had never really thought of that before.  I had
seen all of the movies so I started reading with GOF and worked my
way back to the first.  Then re-read from the 1st to the 6th.  Since
that time I have read over 10 times (was a lit. major in
college...became quite adept at speed reading).

I am absolutely obsessed with this series and will not rest until the 7th book comes out so I will finally know how it all ends.  I check the websites daily and buy any magazine in which I see an article immediately.  I am definitely a Potterite.  My husband loves the movies....he's just more of a numbers guy, not big into reading.  My six and two year olds love them also.  What's not to love.  I do not care what anyone thinks or says....if they ever took the time to read the series they would be addicts too. I am actually mid-way through COS again as we speak.
