My Lover doesn't like HP at all. So I was not allowed to get all emotional and worked up while reading it. However... IN the beginning, I hated the whole HP thing, too. I was working at a bookstore and it was HP this and HP that, and I resented all those gooebry faced kids swarming into my store and making messes. Then someone sat me down and handed me the first book and just said, "read it."
7 book laters...I wish I knew what had happened to other characters, like Hagrid, or McGonagall. I wish I know how other people faired - if George continued his Wizarding Weazes business without his twin.. things like that.
This series got an entire generation of children READING. It should be commended just for that alone. For myself, it was the first book/s in many, many years that I Lost myself in. And for that, I'll always hold them dear to me.
