 I am curious how many times everyone has read the series. I started 
reading in January for the first time and am 1/2 way through my third 
time. (I read Lord of the Rings in between times 2 & 3 which took 
forever since I have 3 small children).

I read the books for the first time last August (2005) and got 
through all 6 books in 3 weeks. My kids ran rampant over those weeks 
cause I didn't pay any attention to them, I just kept reading and 
reading. I deliberately did not see the movies until after I read the 
series. Since then I have read the whole series again and the 5th and 
6th books a third time. I am trying to convince my 8-year-old that we 
should now read them "together". Thanks to you all I have just 
started listening to them on CD.
I am lucky in that my best friend shares my HP obsession and we talk 
about the books and watch the movies frequently. My kids love the 
movies too and I'm sure they will read them as they get older. And 
though my husband does not share nor understand my obsession, he has 
not called me a nutter to my face (though he probably does think it). 
My coworkers, however, think I'm a dork for it! LOL!
 
Jamie, who says hi to Michelle from Philly cause I live just over the 
bridge from you and have kids about the same age (8, 5 and 3)!
