    I never read the books...but I watched every movie more than once, so I expect to be inline for the wooden spoon or weakest wand. ;)

    My two main memories of reading HP:

    1) Book 6: I was working in Spain for the summer. One of my co-workers went home for a weekend and brought back two copies of HP6 (only the Spanish version was available where we were - there was no English tourism). So we had to go on a waiting list to read the book. I remember someone reading it and crying at a particular point (we all know the point) and thinking "Oh no". Then my turn came and everyone sat watching me to see if I cried.
    I did.

    2) Book 7: I was on work experience in college. I queued up to buy the book at midnight in my local tesco. My friend was on a nightshift and did the same on her lunch hour. We agreed to read to a certain point and then we both slept and then I called over to her house, we went and bought all of the junk food, and lay on her couch reading. I am a slightly quicker reader so I'd gasp and then a minute later, so would she. We would pause briefly for a chat/debrief, and then get back to it.

    Never cared much for the movies. The pronunciations of words/characters and the portrayal of characters with actors didn't fit my imagination.

    I've never read a book with someone. I suddenly feel like I've missed something in my life

    I cried in Book 5 and Book 7 but not in Book 6. And not in Book 7 for who you'd think I cried for.

    Edit: actually in Book 4 too.

    I didn't cry in book 5 the first time I read it because I wasn't attached to the character. But the second time, yes.

    Harry Potter is the only book I've read with someone too. It is an interesting experience, especially when one is slightly faster than the other.

    Wizard Con.

    My 15 yo cousin said "I can't think of anything more sad than that". I said "You want to go to Comic Con. I see no difference."

    He shut up.

    As an aside, I think I've probably been overly kind to some of the answers, so a lot of people should have done worse :P

    Hi everyone!

    First time playing one of these and I'm far too excited to see how badly I've done.
