When I met my wife (she wasn't my wife then, she is now) she introduced me to Harry. We read the first two books to each other before we went to sleep. I bought her Prisoner of Azkaban right after it came out, and we went to every midnight book release from there on out. It was a fight to get to the books first, but it never took more than a day or two for each of us to read them. It's a powerful story, and I really like finding the things that parallel Joesph Campbell's "Heroes Journey." Catch the little things like "Knockturn Alley" and "Nocturnally" are fun, even when we find them years later.

Harry Potter is a way that my wife and I were able to connect when we had just met, and something we can share.
