I'm glad for that because it was hard enough waiting for 5, 6, and 7 to come out. I actually love re-reading these awesome books. I bet I've read them about 4 times and I will probably read them again. I believe that JK Rowling started a new age in children's literature with these books.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585721638280496666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-87152227639313963962010-04-08T07:19:53.375-07:002010-04-08T07:19:53.375-07:00Aelysium, sounds like you got to spread the HP lov...Aelysium, sounds like you got to spread the HP love! I didn't start the series until about the fourth book came out (I was reluctant with all the hype). How fun it will be to share with your own kids!<br /><br />Annette, it is definitely one of a kind - probably a series I will reread once every few years. And yeah for librarians! :)melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-9871499912590039952010-04-08T07:09:03.695-07:002010-04-08T07:09:03.695-07:00I re-read them last summer -- because I wanted to ...I re-read them last summer -- because I wanted to read them all in a row, like one big book. It was awesome! You can really see the foreshadowing that you were talking about when you read them without waiting a year in between each book.<br /><br />I very rarely read more than one book in a series -- I'm a high school librarian, and I like to read a wide variety so I can recommend to my students -- and to read ANY book a second time (let alone seven books) is unheard of for me. I did read all the Twilight series, but I would never read those again. So to me, Harry Potter is "special."Annette Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850197520930988077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-13330857967012903772010-04-07T23:21:40.278-07:002010-04-07T23:21:40.278-07:00This is a great review!

After I finished the series I read them to my younger siblings and then my husband and I read them out loud to each other. I can't wait to read them to my kids when they're just a bit older. <br />I loved hearing your thoughts on the series, and I'll have to check out the read-alikes.Mellissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687019114824159915noreply@blogger.com
