Subject: Your age when you read the first book?

Posted by: debimore
Date: Feb 16 08

I ask this because I ordered the first 3 books from my book club, hoping to get my youngest son to start reading. Instead, I was the one hooked, and my daughter, as well. I finished the last book in September-I'm 43.

I was 10 when I first read it. A lot of kids read these books.

I was thirtysomething when I read the first couple. I still haven't read them all.

I think I must have been 17 or 16. It was around the time of the release of the first film, probably just before. I finished the last book three days after its release.

I got GoF when I was like, four, five, somewhere in that neighborhood. Then I read the first three, then I had to wait for the fifth book! I was hooked. I'll admit that I didn't actually read GoF when I first got it; I read the first part, didn't get it, and waited until I had read the first three. That was when I was about seven, eight, I can't remember anymore!

After I saw the fifth movie, I wanted to know more!
Read them all in a week!

So..14 years old.

Once I kept reading Half-Blood Prince over and over!

I got the first book from a friend for Christmas when I was in college. She told me how much she liked them I thought she was silly after all they were children's books and we were in college. Until I started reading, then I was hooked and now I swear I need HPA (Harry Potter Annonymous). I have read each book the night that it was released because I stay up all night reading it and then go to bed once I finish.

I first read Harry Potter when I was 25. Now 27 years old, I still return to these books often.

I was 13 years old when I first read the books. I had just seen the first movie, and I was so interested in it that I decided to read the books.

Old enough that I couldn't use the excuse that I had to read them to my kids. I started reading them before the "adult edition" with its more somber cover came out.

I think I was about 32 and am now 37. I'm a big kid at heart.
