I never got the books at midnight, but I did basically avoid all social media. Which, honestly, was a lot easier in 2007 than I think it would be now.
also think the birth of the internet and the growth of things like message boards, fic sites and platforms like lj and such helped push all that forward too.
Oh, absolutely!
I think other books missed what made HP so special, which was the normalcy. It's the same with Buffy. A lot of books seem to mostly be about the action, about the problem, whereas Harry Potter and Buffy really took you into their unique worlds.
