I remember when the whole Harry Potter craziness started around ten years ago. I laughed at people who where hooked on the Potter, thought they were crazy and didn't want anything to do with the hype. Then, one day... YEARS later I was discussing Harry Potter with a friend of mine and said I really didn't understood all the fuzz. She said: just try it! and I did! Man, I'm glad I did!! After a few chapters I was completely hooked! The book changed the whole reading concept for me. All of a sudden I didn't HAVE to read but WANTED to read! 
 The story is amazing, the characters are FREAKING awesome. This must be my all time favorite book (and serie) and I've read it like 8 times (thats a lot for me) and still can't get enough of it!
