OH MY I FEEL OLD! hah I remember when they first started being big in canada, hah I was about 7 years old, and we had a fairy tale themed day in our class, and everyone brought in these cheesy little fairy tales, and one boy brought in the first two harry potter books. I came in late and we had a "reading time" and I was stuck with the harry potter book. and I was ****** off and only pretended to read it hah. so that was my first encounter with harry potter hah I thought it was a kinda cool story. I did get hooked on the books the summer following that fairy tale day
