She now has all 7 books with matching covers for her collection :) Power to JK Rowling. I would be proud as an author if I had inspired the imagination of one child, or encouraged one person to enjoy the art of reading. She has achieved so much more than that - a wonderful legacy. The number of us walking around the office having hushed conversations about Harry this week is amazing - none of us wants to spoil the end for anyone else :) Happy reading Funnily enough my closest friend has taken the same approach as you have.

Happy reading

I have since read just about everything writting in the genre, but try as I might, I just can't get into the Harry Potter series. I would also like to echoe the above sentiment that a completed Wheel of Time series would be nice. I've only waited like 15 years at this point...

It was a young adult contemporary fantasy story with magic and witchcraft. I was delighted when I later saw it referenced as recommended reading in the Basic D&D rule set. The series was nowhere near as popular as Harry Potter, but it was just as engrossing. I attended another Harry Potter book release with some friends a few years ago. The waiting crowds reminded me of the Cabbage Patch Kids' riots of the early '80s, but with less anger. It's encouraging to see so much hype about a book.

We bought a few of the books also and hadn't read them yet. On this recent trip to Germany, I purchased Deathly Hallows and started reading it, though I haven't read the book previous to it. All in all, it has encouraged me to read more and tahts a good thing! I had not read any of the Harry Potter books either, but recently my fiance and I started watching some of the films.
