    I really didn't get the hype about HP when it came out - there was loads of stuff in YA that was already out and was just as good, if not better.

    Then Twilight became big and I just gave up on trying to figure people out at all.

    I had little to no interest in HP as they came out.

    But Mrs. Tusk became addicted to it, so she watched it religiously. Sometimes even getting through the whole series in a week. I became addicted too. Then we got the audiobooks and turns out they are fantastic.

    Everything I liked about the movies is expanded on and much deeper in the books.

    Twilight can go **** itself.

    I went on a big rant here about previous YA authors who came earlier and I felt were better, but it's totally off-topic. :o I'll just say that the HP books at least make sense. The movies miss out entire pieces that screw up the narrative. :P

    Entry to King Sheep in. :)

    Ok so folks I'm gonna hold off on this one for a while as there's only been 5 entrants. Not the most popular topic it seems but sure that's fine :)

    Oof, would need much easier questions to be a PEEHS. I'm a King fan and I wouldn't be able to do this as a PEEHS due to the lack of google (especially for one or two of The Dark Tower questions in my case anyway).

    I think it would have to be a SHEEP.

    Did you resist King's fantasy folly, Geordi? I did, for years. Hated "The Gunslinger" in '82 or '83 and didn't revisit it for nearly a decade. "The Drawing Of The Three" is a masterclass in King's ability for back-story.

    I do intend to read The Dark Tower at some point, but it's not high up on my reading list at the moment. I will get around to it at some point I'm sure.

    While I do enjoy a good series of novels from time to time, I'm usually more drawn to stand-alone novels, which is probably why I haven't gotten around to it yet.

    In. And agree with Levar. I think it needs to be simplified a lot if you make it a PEEHS
