Never quite understand grown adults reading Harry Potter books.
You know, I felt that exact same way. But I think it was when "The Half-Blood Prince" came out that I became intrigued, so I gave the first book a go. I read it in 3 hours. After that, I picked up the remaining five books (Book 7 hadn't come out yet) and finished Books 1-6 in less than two months.
Harry Potter turned out to be my favorite series. They really are quite incredible.
Agreed! THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE was the first book I received as a gift. So like you, I grabbed books 1-5 (because 7 wasn't out yet) and I've loved the series since then. It's been years since I've read them. In fact, prior to this run, I hadn't read a Harry Potter book since book 7 was released back in 2007!
