How did you get hooked on Harry Potter?

[kp-peanut]

With me, Harry Potter just became so well known that you just bought it wether you knew it was good or not....and also, even though the first few pages aren't really about much I was just driven to read the rest because i
I knew it would get better and I wouldn't put it down until it did! JKR is very good at leaving you little hints so that it makes you read a few more pages just to see what she meant...
if that makes any sense???

a couple of my friends was sooooo in loved with harry potter books and they insisted that i go with them to see the first movie
i found it interesting and i wanted to read the book but at the moment i didnt have time so i forgot about it
then came the second movie and i decided to find some time to read these books so i read at night and i couldnt leave the book so the first night i read it all and fall asleep at class
i am a gooood kid so teacher just left me sleeping
so i bought second book and got hooked
now i read HP every day a little
my mum says that i am crazy bcs when i wake up i first read one chapter from the book and then go to bathroom
i am a little bit weird, arent i??

I got hooked b/c the first movie was coming out, and my mother wouldn't take me to see it untill I had read the book.... I read it in like a week ((I was young so that is a good time!)) and I liked it soooo much I kept reading.... I had read the 1st book about 5 times b/c I actually saw the movie... and then I saw the movie, that made me get sooooooo in to HP that it was sadddd... I had read alllll the books about 20-30 times a peice in just the first year... after that it's just I kept reading in to HP, and got all the new books... In this case, I think the story talks for itself... lol

[Alexandra]

20-30 times?!?!
now i know i am not the only weird one
yeah

[Scarlet Lioness]

You can also call me weird...

[Alexandra]

how many times have you read each HP book

[Hagger 9003]

theres a thread on that somewhere... mayb here, mayb in the great hall... all i remember is that my count paled in significance compared with some others!

[Scarlet Lioness]

Let's just say I've read the 3rd one so many times I've lost count, the only one I haven't read over 5 times is HBP.

[Alexandra]

oooooookkk
Where do u get the time?!!!

[Scarlet Lioness]

I wouldn't know!!! Just did!!!

[Alexandra]

I am your age and I have time to read only over night, which is not very smart. I think that i would forget about HP if I don't come here, and that is once in every second weekend!

[Scellanis]

Well some people can read ridiculously fast...a book the size of the 3rd one would probably take my big sister and oyfriend less than a night to read.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

True. And once people have read the same book many times they tend to skip parts too.

[Simatra]

Like the Lioness, I've read them so many times I've lost count. HBP I've only read 4 times though . My whole family has a set!

Oh boy...how did I get started? It all started when i was in 3rd grade. I always wanted to read a Harry Potter book so i gave it a try. But the thing was I could never get past the 3rd page untill 5th grade. I finally finished the 1st book and really enjoyed it so I read the next book. Finally when I saw previews for the 4th book i put down book 2 and started reading book 4. I was really surprised when i finished it because that book is 734 pages. Thats pretty much how I got hooked. I ususally don't like to read book but Jo has really changed my mind. Jo is just so good at capturing the readers mind and keeping them. I have always liked to write so I hope that when i grow up I can actually capture the readers minds too and become a success.
