I thought it would be interesting to know if you date someone who also loves Harry Potter or who loathes Harry Potter or is indifferent. I also thought it would be interesting to see if anyone else in your family shared your love of the books! 
In my family, my Dad hasn't read the books or seen the movies. He isn't at all opposed to him, it's just hasn't been an interest of his . . . yet.
My only sibling--a brother younger than me by 3 and a half years--has read all the books, and I *think* he's seen the two movies. My Mum is absolute *nut* for Harry . . . she's the one who bought me my set of books when I graduated from Uni with my Bachelor's Degree a few years ago! I think I *may* have outdone her as a fan, but if so, not by much! 
She's being kind enough to let me read her book (my brother, boyfriend, and I pre-ordered the 5th book for her as a belated Mother's Day gift) as I'm a faster reader than she is, and she is currently reading the fourth book, as that's the only one she hasn't read yet (gotta read that one before the fifth one! 
). Other than the fourth book, she's read all the books, seen the movies, and even bought me an owl Christmas ornament a few years ago in homage to Harry!
My boyfriend is much like my Dad . . . he's indifferent, but unlike my Dad, he's seen the two movies and at least knows about Harry and such.
He's read a little of the third book (and enjoyed it), but he's a far bigger fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and the LOTR books (with the movies coming second). He *has*, however, seen the first HP movie with his younger brother, and the second HP movie with me, and enjoyed both. So, while I'm the die-hard fan, he appreciates and likes the series, and he lets me be as fanatical as I like. hehehehe One of my favorite memories is laying together on my bed with him on one side reading the 10th "Wheel of Time" book by Robert Jordan (he enjoys that series) and me reading (for the first time--I only recently started reading the HP books back in February 2003 ) "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". It was raining outside with the wind blowing and occasional thunder, the room was well-lit with lamps, and it was nighttime . . . just the right atmosphere for reading a good book with good snacks and drinks nearby!
How about you? What does your family and/or significant other think of Harry Potter? How do they deal with your fanacism or are they as crazy for Harry as you?
I feel rather lucky that even though not all my family (and not my boyfriend, to some degree) are as crazy about Harry as I am, they do respect my enthusiasm and some of them share it! 
How about you . . . what's your situation? Do share!

Well, interesting things are happening with my crush, but . . . he doesn't read Harry Potter. I don't think. Now that I think of it, though . . .
