I finally broke down and picked up the first HP book because I was so sick of hearing all of the hype and just had to know why in the world this "kiddie" book was such a freakin' big deal.
Yeah, same here. My sister nagged me for *ages* to read them, and of course, since she and I are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum, I said no without a second thought. But finally around the time that the fourth book was coming out, I finally caved, and she she handed me the first book, telling me not worry about how boring the first chapter was and to just keep reading. I was hooked by the second page. :p
