Reblog if you remember the first time you picked up a Harry Potter book.
I got them for Christmas when I was 16, in 2001. After having seen the first movie.
I saw it in the bookstore and told my mom it looked stupid. Then, when I went in to summer camp at my church (the summer after first grade, I think, because I remember reading the first book to my second grade class). Anyway, the summer camp activity one afternoon was either playing Snake on the old computers (of which we only had 2, so you do the math), or listening to a story across the hall. The story was the first Harry Potter book, and after sitting in there for 10 minutes, I was hooked.
