It was a while ago, and I must say, it was very enjoyable. I didn't read/listen to every chapter.
It's become such an icon in the landscape of my kid's culture. Upon conclusion of the family reading of the series, T has taken it upon herself to re-read it all by herself. She'll be done with book 2 by the end of the weekend, I imagine. Book 3 is the first real wrist-breaker, but she's so into it. Some of her classmates (mostly girls, the boys are all into Star Wars) have read the whole series several times. Rowling's effect on literacy is so positive. Hermione is a fantastic role model for girls.
T wanted a wand from SNWMF. I was unable to find one. I found a nice wooden hairpin, and she was delighted. She was stupifying her parents with it for days. We just ordered Gryffindor robes for her Halloween costume.
I want a "Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts" t-shirt. For a spell (pun intended) my haircut was very Snape-like. Now it's become more Sirius Black-ish.
