sorry to go on, the question intrigued me - I'm here via metafandom btw.
I think the reason I don't associate HP with my childhood is that the HP event which stick most strongly in my mind are from after I was at uni - and also, I didn't get an LJ or get into fandom much until I was at uni. I have vivid memories of reading the most recent HP book while up at the Edinburgh Fringe, and all the people I was with finishing it at different speeds. I remember ringing home from uni to tell my brother the spoiler from OOTP just because I was mad at him. I remember a group of geeks from my uni saying 'hey, let's just rent the entire cinema' when GOF came out on film, and then actually doing it, and nearly 300 geeks in costume winding round the centre of town at the last minute. As a teenager, I read the books, but I didn't measure milestones with them. *shrug*
