So do I.
But it's remeniscent pleasure, if you first read it when you were a kid, or
if you know the trilogy well when you read it.
It's a very difficult book to like if you read it as an adult the first
time, and do not know the rest of the mythos. Very arch, very much adult
writing DOWN to younger readers.

Well that's rude -- but I've never had any desire to read Harry Potter.
