I went to more than on midnight release Potter parties during my college years, re-read books 1-6 in preparation for book 7 and they were just as great the second time around, and I'm very sure they'll be just as awesome when I read them for a third time. No shame in Potter love.

I loved the Harry Potter series as an adult. It reminded me of the Wizard of Oz series I loved as a kid. When I started writing, I would thumb through a Harry Potter book to help understand POV and plot development.

My daughter always drags me to see Harry Potter movies. Reluctantly, I always enjoy them. Nice that you linked to Nathan's blog where he had excellent tips. He will be missed. *sniff*

As always, Nathan's post is dead on… even as an ex-agent!

I'm 36, and will be at the midnight show IN COSTUME, sporting my Severus Snape TATTOO on my calf. Geekdom is the only way to live free.

Love Nathan, love that post. I didn't start reading the books until my early twenties and like you, I *might* end up pushing children out of my way in the theory. Gently, of course. I promise.

You can tell Rowling loves her world. Even if the writing isn't the BEST ever (although I still think it's pretty good), her passion shines through. It's infectious. It's why people are hooked.

Don't feel bad. I was seventeen when the first Harry Potter book was published and read it when I was eighteen. I fell in love with it from day one and have been glued to it from the minute I opened the cover of book one. So please, call me a geek too.
