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.
You are in for a fantastic ride. Harry Potter is easily the second best series I have read. It is truly phenomenal - especially once you hit the 3rd book.
