Hey folks, Sirius Black here.I was just finishing watching the two movies for the how manyeth times.lol.Anyways, as I was watching, a question popped in my head as the usual.Which got you into Harry Potter: The books, or the movie?What I am trying to say is that, were you a fan before the movies were created?Or started being one WHEN the movies were created?Just curious.Bye!

i've been a sucker for a good read since I was nine (I'm way above that now) ! I had seen the movies but really didn't care about them until the fourth one. I liked the effects and the story seem to have more body than the first three, although I had sort of fallen for the character of Remus Lupin, and I found Snape a little more interesting at POA. (Not to mention the cast was wonderful!) Anyway, So when OOTP came out I was more impressed. I started reading the first book a few pages at a time at the local bookstore last summer but never got too into it, until I got laid of work and caught the flu last Thanksgiving. A friend as a present gave me the first three books and my daughter and son the next two. In two weeks time I was through the sixth book! Could not stop reading! I went to the bookstore to get the seventh book. It was $25. I was told if I could wait six weeks it would be on sale about $10 less. I waited a day and paid the $25 plus tax. To this date I have read each book completely twice and still read at least two chapter per week from each book. (More if blogging and interesting thread.) Can you say addicted!! (My intervention is planned for after the movie!) LOL
