Yeah, well. You know the thing with Harry Potter is... everyone was talking about it and... it´s huge. So I thought, why not?! Give it a try. I bought the first book, read into it and thought it was rather cute but then it spawned into something I just couldn´t wrap my head around and so I didn´t read on because there was much better stuff around. But THEN I coughobtainedcough the audio book version read by Stephen Fry and that makes it all worthwhile, seriously. When I´m doing stuff in the kitchen or when I´m commuting Harry is around and this marvellous, incredibly versatile voice creates this magic world in my ear. I´m simply a sucker for good audio fiction... so maybe if you DO want to give it a try... let me know.
