I'm a Harry Potter fan... My mother is actually the one who got me into it... She's been a fan for a long time now...and has been trying to get me to read the books since she got the first one... It wasn't until just earlier this year after I watched the VHS she bought of the first movie that I became interested... And I've been hooked ever since...
I really can't wait for the next movie and book 5 (which by the way, is tentatively titled "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix")
I think the reason I like it so much is because it's a story of a normal (well, thouroughly down-trodden) kid who becomes a hero... I like that premise...
