I'm 17 now, and first discovered Harry Potter when I was 7.
- What it was like, growing up with the books.
Obsessive in the extreme! Like with all the books you love as a child, it informs your games, your dreams, all that sort of thing. An essential part of school, and acquiring the book each year was so exciting. For book 3 I had to wait until after school, book 4 I could get first thing in the morning, by book 5 I could go to the midnight sale. And now Harry's finishing the year I leave school, and it all rounds off rather wonderfully!
