Potioncat:
I started reading the books about the time the first movie was being 
hyped. I was well into SS/PS when someone slipped the information that 
Snape wasn't the bad guy. (over breakfast at the Slytherin table IIRC) 
>From that moment on, I was trying to determine who "was" the bad guy 
and what was Snape up to? From then on the book titles might as well 
have been "HP and the ______ and What Snape Did About It".

The books entertained on so many levels. I was enchanted by the word 
play, by old folklore made new, by something inportant in this book 
that was barely mentioned in the last book. I liked the tricks that JKR 
played on the readers. I felt so smart when I got a pun or joke right 
away, but equally amused when I caught on to it later. It was loads of 
fun. That is why I'll read JKR's next book.
