I'm a big Harry Potter fan and I'll definitely be reading the book, but I plan on getting it from the library, not purchasing it. I just put it on reserve, actually. I'm trying to go into it with no expectations other than that fact that JKR is a good writer. Comparing this to Harry Potter would be useless, because it's nothing like HP and nothing will ever compare to HP anyway lol. So I'm hoping I enjoy the book as a book. If I don't, no big deal.
