how did u start reading the harry potter books?

I didn't read the first edition, because I wasn't much of a reader in that time. Before the 5th movie came out (long before) I was at my friend's house. It was so boring, so I decided to read something from her big book collection. She had the first 5 Harry Potters, and she didn't read any of them (kinda sad, isn't it?).
I grabbed the first Harry Potter and started to read. I found myself deep interested in the books, and I couldn't let go of the book. Although I have watched all the movies before that crucial, boring night (1, 2, 3 and 4), I never expected to be so amused by the books. Soon I finished the first part, and it wasn't enough for me to borrow the rest from my friend. I had to have them.
So I asked my mom if I could get all 6 books, and she agreed. I got them as a present, and I'm glad now I have them on my shelf because now I feel like a really good reader. I never read before, and now that I do, it's so great to see all 7 books there where I can always read them again!

Mmom gave me the first one to read but I didn`t like it cause I didn`t read all of it. Then my friend read the first so I did too. I loved it ang got the rest up to half blood prince. Thats when I couldn`t wait. I got the 7th and loved it and of course cried. My friend was still on the 4th! I laughed. Right now shes on the 6th...

I always wanted to read Harry Potter but my mom didn´t let me cause she said it was about witches and stuff and she didn´t want to read those typs of things but i always had a feeling that HP "belonged" to me so when i start to have my own money i buy all the books and i was SO HAPPY cause then i could read it!!

Conclusion: now i´m a Harry Pooter Freak and i´m very proud of that

I was trying to avoid gym class, so I pretended to be sick, and I left with my friend. Soon after we had nothing to say so she started telling me about her favourite book. I found the plot interesting so she borrowed me the books (first 5). I read them and loved them immediately...

It was the mom of my boyfriend at the time. She had 1 thru 4, then I bought the 5th one & eventually bought 1 thru 4 for myself.

well back in the good old days when I was only like 8 years old I was really proud of myself for finishing my first chapter book and decided to look for another one to read. So I found the first 4 books in my brothers room and after convincing myself that I could make it through without there being pictures every other page I read them all and fell in love with Harry Potter. And now I'm older and have read each of them like 7 times. =)

Weel I watched the first movie and said to myself "I want to read the book" I bought the first book from Wal-mart read it and ever since then I couldn't stop reading the books

i start summer 2007;D

aboot early April time this year, i said to my self, i want to read 'The Half Blood Prince' before it comes out on DVD so i can imagine it before my self. So i read the first book, in aboot a day, the second in 3, the 3rd in aboot 3 again, and same with the 4th, but i had heard the the 5th was a bad read so i took it in slowly reading it in aboot 2 weeks, then the 6th aboot 3 days again, by now i was like YAY i've read up to my target even though i thought i'll be cutting it really close to my deadline. I had 1 more book left and i though "as i have exams for the next month i won't read the last book or i'll wait until i've seen the film", but no i couldn't wait, so i started reading the book the next day.

NOTE1: i was never much of a reader and i feel reading these helped with my english exams loads by improving, reading skills, the speed of reading and my writing.

Back when I was 10 years old, I read an excerpt from the newly released Prisoner of Azkaban in my Disney Adventures magazine. I told my mother how interesting the excerpt was, and the next day she came home with the book for me. After that I quickly devoured the first two books as well and was shocked to find out that I had to wait an age almost for the fourth to be released, and that there would be a total of seven books. I was hooked and I am glad and thankful for the fact that I was literally able to grow up right alongside the characters in the books. I attribute that to one of the major reasons of why, 10 years later, I am still a major fan of the series. =)

Harry Potter was my first real book love. My brother got the first book for Christmas when I was probably 8 or 9 and I read it after him. Since then those books were pretty much all I read. If I finished all of the ones which had been released I'd go back to them start again. I honestly have no idea how many times I've read them. The figure is probably too embarrassing to mention even if I knew!

I thiiiink it was shortly after Prisoner of Azkaban was released. A friend of mine told me about the book she was reading, and I thought 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' (in our translation) sounded like a very lame title.
I read a bit of Chamber of Secrets in the library but didn't understand much of it.

I went to the library a lot back then and one time I was there they had a kids competition (I was... nine, I think?) and I participated in it and won a prize, which was the first Harry Potter book. I started reading and discovered they were actually very cool books :)

first I watched the movie(Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)I love it and I started to read books

I love moves I don't like books!

My friend was always going on and on about the Harry Potter books, and at the time i've only read the first one when i was yonger, so i wasn't really into it, and every time she was saying something about HP i was like shut up! haha ... but then one summer, it was the summer when the last book was coming out, and i finished school i was so bored, i just thought what the hell, i went out and bought all the books and just started to read them one by one. I was so into them i read the whole lot (excluding the last one cause it wasn't out yet) in like a month. It was sooo good, i'm so glad i read them. It was the best summer of my life lol :D

Well I started reading them back when I was 10 years old and my father bought them as a christmas present and then I stopped reading for about 2 years and then I began reading again and couldn't stop.

one of my mums friends is an english teacher and always buys me books for christmas, one year when i was probably 8 or 9 she gave me the first harry potter book it has stayed with me ever since

Well qt first my brother wanted to read them but the news said it was about the Devil so my mom read the first book to make sure it was ok for an 7 year old and she liked it. SO for 8 years my mom and my brother read the series and were bugging me to raed thenm so last summer of 2008 i watched the first trairler on youtube so we went to the bvideo store to rent them I loved it so i decide to read the books I finshed all 7 books in 8 months and now i cant wait for the new movies!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HARRY POTTER AND J.K ROWLING

I first saw it in my parents' closet (I was 6) and I considered reading it but I thought the cover looked weird so I didn't. Later that day I was complaining to my mom how bored I was so she threw the book at me and I decided to give it a go.

When the first book first came out, I was 6 and my dad bought it and read it aloud for me. When I was 8 I read it myself, it was the very first 'real' book I read alone. So, I was hooked.

I started read 'em when i was at the third class od the junior school when i was 9..but my mom read 'em to me sice i was a baby...don`t know if that matters

On 2000, my cousin received the philosopher's stone on his birthday. He never was a big fan of books, so he lent me it and I start reading Harry Potter since that day. He ended to offer me the book. :D

In school, I was about 11, my literature teacher bought the book and fell in love with it she brought it to class, made some copies,then made us buy the books, she even made us quizzes and act out some parts it was fun :D!

when they first came out, I promised myself I will never touch them. Everybody was reading it and I hate peer pressure.

I picked one up 5 years ago, it was Order of the Phoenix, and the only reason I did it, was because I was bored out of my mind and it was the only book in the house I haven't read before. I loved it. So I went to the library and checked out the first four books and that is when I fell in love with Severus Snape :) It was before HBP came out and before GoF the movie was made.

Between autumn 2003 and February 2004, couple of fanfiction stories about Sirius, had me look into the character information outside the stories, and I found his story extremely fascinating. So I asked a friend, in which part he comes up and then bought the Prisoner of Azkaban. And fell in love with the Marauders and got hooked with the whole Potter universe. Then I ran to buy Goblet of Fire, which made me downright fall in love with it all.

I had seen the film Chamber of Secrets, in early 2003 when I didn't know anything about the HP world, and I enjoyed the film very much. (I especially remember how I howled of laughter for the Howler Ron received from his mother. The whole idea of a Howler was just way too freakin' hilarious - not to mention how it was practically portrayed.) Anyway... As great as that film was, with the whole Voldemort's spirit&Chamber of Secrets thing, it didn't stir my interest in the books. But it made me look into the fandom and later on, as said, lead me to Sirius, who got me into the books.

I started reading them because my mum brought them when I was 10.

i started reading the 1 ever harry potter book when i was 5 years old

well i started by wtachig the first movie and then i saw the books in th liabary

This guy I carpooled to band with was reading them, and he'd tell me and my mom all about them so my mom started reading them. Then I started reading them. Then my brother started reading them and then my dad started reading them. Then my dog started reading them no haha im just kidding

I started reading them because my brother loved them so I wanted to see what was so great about them. I see it now :D

Well, the third one had just come out and they were very hard to get in the library, I was on a 3 month waiting list but I knew that if the nerd boy I liked was reading them, I had to read them too :D.

To sum it all up-

It runs in the family. ;)

First book I ever read to the end without skipping any pages was the first book of this series. Great books these are :)

My sister got the books a few Christmas's ago, one of her fads, and when she lost interest, I picked them up, now I love them :)

You see, I took both of my hands. Then, with my index finger I opened the cover of Harry Potter. Then I flipped through the title pages until I got to the beginning of the book. Then I drew my eyes across the sentences, which is called reading. That is how I started reading the harry potter books.

i started reading wen i saw a colection of them in a library ad got da 1st 1 i could see ad got in2 2 it :D
