NA - Strongly seconding this, and also wanting to add that I think there's an additional type of attachment some of us have to the HP books that has to do with it being a shared pop-cultural experience, and not even just that, but a shared pop-cultural experience that was extremely widespread, sustained itself for a long time, and was at the time overwhelmingly positive. People just loved the series. It lit up the zeitgeist in a way few things ever have, while also being really uncontroversial (apart from inciting the ire of some religious zealots).

I was 12 when The Goblet Of Fire came out, and it felt like everyone was talking about it. Before that, the closest to being involved in pop culture I'd gotten was like...asking for the Spice World CD for my birthday, sharing teen magazines with my friends, and being excited when the McDonald's Happy Meal toys were particularly covetable that month. The HP series was the first time I can remember feeling like I was actually part of a shared pop-cultural experience.

ayrt - wow yeah that's actually a good point. I was familiar with movies having midnight premieres with big crowds, lines, cosplay, etc, but until HP books never did that. NEVER. No book ever had midnight premiere sales with lines of costumed nerds out the door. It was culturally significant, and anyone who would say now that it wasn't is either ignorant or doesn't want to admit it.
