I'll have to admit that the nature of Pottermania is beyond my comprehension capabilities! As more and more fans of all ages and countries immerse themselves in Harry’s adventures, adding fuel to the belief that Pottermania is inescapable, I am purely and simply baffled by its ability to appeal to all ages.Bored by the inactivity prevailing in this muggle world, I began to read the first one of the series and immediately concluded that reading beyond the tenth leaf was something impossible. Undeterred, I watched the first movie. I Hated it. But with the evil-wizard becoming apple of more and more eyes with every passing moment, around the world, it could only have been something wrong with me and so I watched the second movie. And then it became so easy to establish that I loathed the Potter Kid!
Just a passing thought - "Would it be a bad idea for a Potter special appearance in Oliver Twist? The poor kid could do with some wizardry."

But i feel like an outcast when people go in depth about all the potter characters and there idiosyncrasies!
I tried reading the book too, but i stopped it even before you and stuck to movies instead!
Naresh's feeling is something I feel with LOTR btw.
I just love the books, mayb the first 2 were kiddish, but starting from the 3rd all the books have a taut plot! I just love JKR's humor and writing style and can read the book n number times. And to all the non-potter fans I would say 'To each one his/her own'
But ya maybe the hype surrounding the book was an overkill this time.
So the entire camping outside bookstores for 10 blocks for hours before release is quite unbelievable to say the least!
Rowling must be one happy woman :)
