I read the first book when I was in year...five, so that must have been perhaps mid-1998. I was part of a library quiz and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was one of the books we had to read. I wasn't exactly blown away by it, but it was an all right read. Then my parents bought the second and third book (which was in hardback so I guess it must have only just been released) for my birthday. I was at secondary school then, so that must have been October 1999, I guess...(yes, looking in the Prisoner of Azkaban, it was published in 1999).

Book four and book five I think I bought on the day of publication. Book 6 I can't even remember if I did or not...but by then I didn't care. Just like I'm not rushing out next week to buy the final book. I'll get it eventually, of course, but I'm certainly not queuing at midnight to buy one, no chance.
