Anyone interested in talking about the Harry Potter books?

Started the first one about 3 months ago, haven't gotten far...seemed almost a little too easy to read for me, but I play to go back.
In the middle of a Koontz book right now.

I told my kid sister I'd read Potter if she'd read Lord of the Rings. 
I'm actually kind of glad I made the deal, the books are far better than I expected. One thing I have noticed is that the "level" the books are written at seems to increase with each subsequent book, sort of the way each book is a year at Hogwart's.

I finished reading #1 a few weeks ago.
It was a great book, and the movie really is very accurate in its depictions. I'll be reading the others when I get my hands on them--Costco here I come!  |

Both movies have been very accurate.
Try your local used book store - most will carry many copies of it.

This is L.A. There aren't that many used book stores worth anything here. I do miss Bookman's...  |

Me too - Bookman's had a great store in Flag. There are a few good used bookstores in Nashville, but nothing like Bookman's!

That store is great, there are at least two in Tucson, and the one in Mesa at Country Club and Southern. They've been talking for years and years of opening one in Central Phoenix too. Great stores, especially with their books, dvds, and video game selection. They always give you a good deal on trade you bring to them.

There's 2 in Tucson? I only remember the one north of the University across from the Medical Center (I used to almost live at that place). |

Mike,
The books get noticeably and progressively better (and longer, incidentally). The first two really aren't very good. They are better movies.
The third and fourth books are much better and are good reads. My favorite so far is the 4th.
So, anyone care to speculate who buys it in OOTP?

Do we need a separate thread for spoilers?
Okay, how about this: What house would you want to be sorted into?
Geez...Are we grown people??
