I'm a late-comer to this whole Harry Potter phenomenon. I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone quite a while after it had come out in paperback and liked it well enough. I didn't understand the hysteria about the subsequent releases. In fact, I didn't read the other four books until after Order of the Phoenix was already in paperback. I am so hooked now, though. I told myself when I finished reading the last one that I could wait until the next one was out in paperback, but...I can't wait. I'm an addict, I admit it. I've read the first five more times than I can count in the last year. I check the HP fan sites daily. I go to J.K.'s site weekly to see if there are updates. Absurd? Maybe. Entertaining? Definitely.
I've got until Monday to order my book to have it delivered on Saturday, July 16th. Must remember to order it after Friday's payday.
