I still read the series every other year."



message 205: by Lindsey (new)

Lindsey I was in 5th grade, and I had read the Charlie Bone series and really liked it so people were telling me that I would probably like Harry Potter too so I read the first one and loved it! Then my cousin gave me the rest of the books and here I am now.

4th grade, because it was before DH came out and people were having an argument about Snape. Still freaked out that he's in his 30's.

Cininta Savitri | 7 comments the first time i read the harry potter books was when i was in the 7th grade. by then 3 books had already came out. and at first it took a long time to read the first book but after passing the first few chapters i was hooked. since then i read everything in order. was a fan waaay before the movie came out. first i borrowed them from the library. the fourth book i actually reserved even before it came out. then i slowly bought the book one by one, by the fifth book i was lining up to get it when it was released

➳Halina➳ I started reading them in the middle of elementary school (Like 2nd or 3rd grade) and then lost my place in the second book, so I stopped reading them because I wasn't that interested. So then I looked at all of the other books I had to see what happened. (Luckily I didn't own DH!) But then in fourth grade I went back to them and developed a HUGE OBSESSION! And luckily forgot most of what I read in the other books.

I agree. It's not my favorite series of all time, but it's pretty darn close.
I wondered why everyone in my HS was so hopped on this "Harry Potter" guy. I watched the first movie between HS and college 8 years ago and it was so good, I had to read the books! Would they be as good? Nope. They were so much better.!!

Luisa Blanco | 1 comments I first read Harry Potter when I was ten years, at the lunchtime in the school. The first book I read was HP and the chamber of the secrets. I borrowed the book from my best friend. It was funny since I didn't know anything about Harry Potter universe up to that moment. From that point on I hooked on in the series.


message 211: by Eli (new)

Eli Carballo | 12 comments I boycotted this series from my childhood I thought it was "dumb" I couldn't stand to hear the name harry potter to tell you the truth. Then, in 2010 I went to islands of adventure and if it wasn't for my husband to want to see the Hp area, I still wouldn't care for it. I was actually blown away with the ride and I got curious and saw all 6 movies back than and fell in love and read everything and never looked back. I've become obsessed and I even have a small tatt on my wrist lol I was bummed at myself I let this fantastic world slipped from my childhood actually but glad I brought it to my life years later ;-)


message 212: by Adrian (new)

Adrian Aguilar | 1 comments I read sorcerer's stone when I was in 8th grade and It is good that's why I decided to read the rest of the books. Because of my attachment to the book, I decided to buy my own copy(15th anniversary edition) and reread it

I was in desperate need for a book, so I headed to my sister's room to take one from her bookshelf. I couldn't find one that interested me, until my mom pulled out Harry Po..."

message 215: by Emelie (new)

Emelie (emelieosv) | 2 comments When I was little I had trouble reading, I wasn't any good at all. So when I was around 5 or 6, my mum and dad read them out loud for me.
They read the first four books for me and when the Order of Phoenix came out as a movie, I started reading them by myself and have been reading them since!


message 216: by Anna (new)

Anna (annappel) | 20 comments I saw the first 5 movies one after one, as they came out. After the fifth I couldn't wait for the halfblood Prince so I read it at the age of 10 and the dealthly hallows soon thereafter. Of course I read them all some years later :)

Abmis | 1 comments i've got a confession to make... :O
yes yes, it would make sense, it could have made the slightest bit of sense........

If..., in fact i was living under a rock for all my life, or some evil,devilish force kept me from it.

But sadly, thats not the case.
I knooooow, i don't have words for it either, my mouth drops to the floor too, when i think about it !

So i thought, the time is finally there,HURRAYY:D !!! i need to, going to, complete my life.
The purpose why one is on earth.


For if i'd die tomorrow, my life would be incomplete.*being a dramaqueen xD lol ! *

Ofcourse i'm talking about the fact, that
i haven't read any of the harry potter books yet, ever o.O !
The ini mini tiny little positive is, that i only saw like the first 2 or 3 movies so i'm not really spoiled and i hope i can dive in them like a child:)

So, but ofcourse i wouldn't put myself a shame telling this if it had no purpose, i hope you're all feeling bad for me xD and join me * puppy eyes* hihi

I'd really like to buddy read them !
ofcourse i don't expect there is any other human being ,but me, that didn't read them yet * yea yeai know im exaggerating.much.*

But maybe someone feels like re-reading them ? :D

message 227: by Saakshi (new)

Saakshi Roy | 39 comments I remember that day so vividly... (how could I not?) I was eleven, and the date was 27th October, 2012...I remember having received Philosopher's Stone three months ago, and I also remember how I had groaned, 'Oh, not Harry Potter!' and just stuffed it somewhere in my already-overcrowded bookshelf...(I feel like slapping myself now)...Then on 27th of October, two weeks before my final exams, I found I had read and re-read ALL the books in my bookshelf, ALL except Philosopher's Stone. Being a great 'devotee' of all kinds of books, I felt kind of sorry for the poor novel-unread and all by itself-crammed into some corner of my bookshelf, so I picked it up and started reading...imagine my horror when it turned out to be the best book on earth!! And I went on reading the entire series and by the end of Deathly Hallows, I was a crazy Potterhead!


message 228: by [deleted user] (new)

Late spring of 2011 when my class was having a discussion of wether or not they liked Snape. I couldn't even pretend, since I had no idea what they were talking about. I had read all the books twice by the time school started again.

message 236: by Sage (new)

Sage  | 4 comments Even when I was in second grade, I had a hipster/forget-the-conformists attitude, and therefore completely rebelled against the Harry Potter craze...until my parents made we watch the Chamber of Secrets.
I've been in love ever since! And now that I think of it, Harry Potter was the first quality literature I ever read.

I feel your pain, and share your tears.
How sad are we?!

Trine (trine_wager) | 8 comments I can't really remember what age I was when I started reading the books, only that it was before I was 11 since I clearly remember waiting for my very own letter. XD
And I have loved them ever since I started reading them.

message 243: by peach (new)

peach (peachorchard) I loved Harry Potter from the moment I first saw the movie's commercials. Back then I was too young to read the books, which made me sad since I loved reading picture books already, but a close family friend bought my older sister the first book (she didn't care for reading much) and I was so eager to rip it apart.

I kept reading, motivated to see the little illustration beginning each chapter. Unfortunately my attention span was too short. Fastforward to third grade when GoF came out and I read the entire thing over and over.

David | 1 comments I just started reading this series. Have never watched the movies; however, had heard many good things about the books and movies. So here I am, just finished reading POA and have enjoyed all 3 thus far.

message 246: by Erin Lynn (new)

Erin Lynn I started when I was eleven or twelve, but I wasn't interested, so I stopped. I revisited them when I was twenty-three and read them all in under a month. I should have just read them as they were released. :(
