11 is an intense age for harry potter fans <3

[deeelights]

Did anyone else sit at their window when they turned 11 waiting for their letter accepting them into Hogwarts ?
thats how i spent my 11th year of life xD
i have come to the conclusion it is because i live in Canada

ANYONE ELSE WITH ME ? (:

I was too old. But I never thought about readers doing that before. Was it disappointing? Would you say that's a reason to wait for reading Harry Potter until a certain age, or do you think it added to the excitement?

I was actually younger than 11 when I started reading. I always imagined harry and co. as 9 years old, like myself smile when I first read book 5, I just couldn't understand why Harry was being so annoying. Then I became a teenager and I understood (although I still think he was being a brat. I mean, come on).

My friend and I just had this conversation! Anyways...I was 10 when I first started the series and spent most of the following year waiting for the letter...I was disappointed, but not as much as having to wait three years for The Order of the Pheonix after reading the first four back to back 3nodding

I started reading Harry Potter when I was 8 and I spent the next 3 years convinced I was going to grow up to be a wizard. When I didn't receive a letter I cried for literally a week. It was heartbreaking. BUT I think spending 3 years of my life "practicing" for Hogwarts was the best way to spend that time! It was better then sitting around watching TV and getting fat like my brother did! (:

it was tres tress dissapointing !
it was like oh.. well. okayy, now what >.<
i think if you read it when your younger it definitely adds to the excitement
because theres just a window of possibilities
you Imagen what your journey through hogwarts will be like
i think J.K. rowling wrote her books so that one can grow up with them
like from the first to the third you dream about it and how it seems possible and also it is more childish
but from the 4th one on, by that time you should have realized that the possibilty of going to hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry are not true, and your just gonna have to teach yourself x)
then the books become more grown up and a lot darker
then you are attached to the characters are just sucked into the whole idea of that world
I read them as i was growing up and i thought it was pretty cool that how the book was matched my age and the age of the characters.
it was still a shock when mrs. weasley used the B word xD
