Aussie:
My kids know there are some "Parental Guidance" sections so I have 
to read each new book first. So there is no joy reading through the 
first time ... just proof reading (LOL).

But HBP made me MOAN during the Cave scene. My kids asked me what 
was happening, so I discribed it as painful as "Detention with 
Delores", but Harry being forced to torture someone he likes ... 
continuously.

Each of my kids have read some of the books over 10 times. PS - 10 
times; POA - 25 times for one; GOF WAYyy over 10 times for that same 
child.

PS: The end of HBP made Snape the unaminous person we love to hate.
