Ehh, it's a different experience - and they've missed out on awesome stuff as well.

Sure, they can read the next book like THAT, but they also missed out on the sheer excitement of launch days! They never would have experienced being the first in line at the bookstore on a freezing July morning (lol Australia) and getting the first book out of the box in your hands and having that sucker open before the person behind you can even get their copy and spending the day buried in your book then going back and doing it again a few years later.

They missed out on the golden days of fandom when the time between books could be spent on speculating on anything and everything, mounds of art and fic pouring out, people excitedly going "JUST FINISHED READING IT I NEED TO DISCUSS WITH SOMEONE OH MY GOOOOD".

And, quite frankly, they've probably already been spoiled for everything - we got to read it fresh and spoiler-free! We got to read things that NO ONE saw coming, they don't.

So yeah, they get instant gratification. But they've missed out on stuff as well. Goes two ways.

very, very, VERY true

(I wouldn't have even thought of that. I was just gonna say something like "you're being a douche", but omg. *CLUTCHES ALL THE BOOKS TO ME* I love my fandom experience!)

First in line for three books in a row! \o/ I got to tear back the tape on the box for DH (because I was at my local bookshop and the owner knows me by name, eheh), it was amazing ^_^

Coming from a different fandom, THIS! I can relate to this so much. I'm one of the latecomers and there's so much I'll never experience - although having 15 years of canon served within 6 months helps with accepting the story as it is, instead of raging because it's not as I had pictured it midways.

Heh XD That is a plus side for newcomers, yes ;)

So true. Proof is in the pudding as well. I mean, there are lots of secrets about latecomers being sad they missed out on all the excitement. Hell, I sometimes hate that I was born in the 80s and completely missed out being a teen in the 70s. XD

Right! I'm like that with some of my other fandoms - man, it'd be amazing to experience old-school Doctor Who for the first time. (Of course, given that the classic series was cancelled when I was two... yeah.)

I was going to say EXACTLY this. Sure, reading through seven books at once is awesome (she wrote, with OotP in her lap), even more so if you've never read them before, but I would never give up coming up with crazy theories, standing in line for an entire day waiting for your book, and pretty much growing up with Harry for having all the books out when I started reading. Hell, I remember when the seventh book came out, when I was on my way to the queue and read the newspapers about the crazy fans camping outside the bookstore (and the crazy fans were my best friends X), and you knew that you were one of them. People who are getting into the books now missed out on all that.

Heh, icon snap.

And yeah - Philosopher's Stone came out when I was ten, so I was the same age Harry was when the book started... and yeah. Grew up with Harry and everything. Was a nice feeling :)
