I read Goblet of Fire to set a good example to my boys who were daunted by the size of the book. I had made them read HP1 through HP3 before seeing the films and HP4 was getting ready to hit theaters. I became an instant Potterhead! I read books one, two and three, re-read four and kept on going. I've read all the books about 5 times and keep copies on CD to listen to at work. I regularly visit the fan sites. My husband even had a surprise Harry Potter themed 40th birthday party for me. Of course my boys think I'm nuts. It has been a fun way to connect with them - sharing the stories when they were younger right through today where they tease me about it. It really has been a joy to share these fabulous stories in so many ways with my children - reading to them, reading separately and talking about the stories, spending time together at midnight release parties. Nothing else in our lives has let us connect in this unique way.
