True confessions of a librarian

I have never read any of the Harry Potter books! I know, I know, I know.

But, things are about to change. Yesterday, I checked out "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" from the library, and so far I am at page 100. I love it! The descriptions of his cousin are so, so funny, and J. K. Rowling's writing creates a setting I can almost see. Having lived in England for a bit myself, I really enjoy hearing about familiar places.

I have a feeling that pretty soon, I won't be able to say "I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books." Instead I'll be asking, "How many days until July 7, 2007????????"

What are your favorite books in the Harry Potter series???
