To tell the truth, I started out like Lynn. Kind of. The first time I came near a Harry Potter book was three years ago, when I planned to read it for a book report at school - I read the first chapter and it bored me to sleep. Then I gave it back to the library with the intention of never picking it up again.
I picked it up again

this past May, when I saw it in the library in a Hebrew edition. I figured, I'll get through it fast and just see what all the fuss is about. I finished it in three days, read the second one in one weekend, and the third one in the following week. I am now reading the fourth.

I haven't watched the movie yet, even though I have it on my computer (thanks Annette!

). I will see it as soon as I have some time.
