Revisiting this thread because I think I am about to eat my own words about Harry Potter. I just finished reading "Fantastic Mr. Fox" to my 7-year-old son and we were fishing around for another book to read, and I landed on Harry Potter.
Well, we're through the first 10 pages and are both rather captivated. Maybe the experience of theatrically reading it out loud for my son is enhancing the experience, or maybe it's just seeing how enthralled he is, but I'm enjoying it much more than I did when I first read it. Must also agree with Rizla that the first chapter is quite Dickensian in tone, in its description of the Dursley family.
