Alla:

Anything in particular that hooked you on the books from the start or 
just everything? :)

Because you see, to me PS/SS was indeed a fairy tale, lovely, 
exciting, but fairy tale, certainly I bought the second book and then 
third and fourth, but if I had LONG intervals between waiting for the 
second and third book, I am not sure if I would become the Potter fan 
to such extent, you know?

Was there anything special in PS?SS that made you decide - oh yeah, 
my kind of books.

As I mentioned before my heart belonged to Harry, yes from the start, 
but I was oh so very intrigued by the fact that Snape was so nasty 
and at the same time seemed to be honorable, that I just had to keep 
reading.

The fact that I did not have to wait long for third book, well, 
helped a lot and just as zgirnius, after third book I knew I would 
never be able to forget about these books and they will be on the 
shelf I reread the most ( and trust me I have plenty of books I 
reread a lot ;))
