:oops: Sorry it was sort of on-topic. I'm going to spend the whole summer doing everything Harry Potter. Especially reading the books.

when you read them again, you notice things you didn't before.

Have you read the wheel of time series? Its absolutely fantastic!

I've recently just started reading the entire harry potter series again (its probably the billionth time, i've read them so often i don't even know how mant times i have) so that i'm completely up to date with everything by the time deathly hallows comes out. and then i
ll probably keep reading them!
i don't exactly know how i got into them, i got the 1st and 4th books for xmas one year, read them both and thought they were awesome. so then i wanted to get the 2nd and 3rd so that everything i missed between the 1st and 4th, i would now know what had happened. and then i just kept reading them and getting the new ones as they came out and i'm absolutely 100% hooked! i'm not obsessed with the whole harry potter mania, i just think that the books are fantastic

I have read the books so many times but never tire of them. . . Its like someone above said every time you read them you pick up little details you have missed.

Im gonna start again soon just because i havnt read them for a bit :eek:

My parents actually complain because I read the books so much.
But there are little details that I miss, like little jokes that Jo slips in.
Like she'll make a little comments about Hogwarts that you can miss, but actually add the the humor of the book.

I have had my Harry Potter books since they first started coming out in the adult covers ( I am an old and gnarled person who liked the idea of not being laughed at! ) and have probably read each of them at least twice a year since they came out. But then I read all of my books repeatedly and still reread books from my childhood - like the Swallows and Amazons series - whenever the mood takes me. Great books, like wine , improve with age.

I've re-read them so many times, that I even got some of the brittish versions from a family friend. I've re-read those as well.
