I was one of those crazy people waiting line at 12 wearing a *painstakingly hand sewn(well, I used a hand-held sewing machine)* striped Ravenclaw tie. When I'm really bored and the library's closed and computer time is up I read them again. I have read each book at least three times. I also read fanfiction. I think the main reason why I am attracted to these books is because Jo does a very good job of explaining to us why we didn't know about magic. My third grade class was obsessed with the first book a year before it really became big! Anyone who likes this series, so far, HBP is the best yet!!
