And I'm very glad to have spent the past reading and rereading them. Although I *still* haven't read DH; I'm rereading OotP, then will go onto HBP before reading DH. It's taunting me!

It seemed too good to be true. Harry Potter has leap frogged and become one of my all-time favorite series. I also wondered if you could believe the hype. It seemed too good to be true.

That said, I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole series and think it definitely joins my classic favorites!

I waited until after college graduation and sadly my mom saw me reading them and since she must do everything that is "current" for fear that she'll be (i have no idea, i don't understand) always picked up the next books via pre-order. I'm rereading the series now and there definitely is something that grabs us. I am in awe of master story tellers and have much to learn. Lastly, I've not preordered Deathly Hallows, but I probably will pick it up next weekend. I didn’t start right away either on the “potter phenomenon”.
