I really like the HP books, I think I've read all of them 3 times over the years. But being a teen when the first book came out might have helped
I hated it when teachers told us what to read. Luckily we mostly got to choose our own books. I had one teacher telling is about HP. I don't think any of my classmates minded. It beats talking about Flemisch classics!
Oh yeah, this teacher ended up calling her daughter Hermelien (Dutch name for Hermione)
