Re: How did your first impression of [insert work here] influence your perception of it in odd ways?

[(Anonymous)]

Harry Potter, the book series.

I first heard about this series back in 1997/8 in elementary school (meaning virtually nothing was widely known about it, especially not in our little corner of the world, even though I was an avid reader of children and teenage lit). We had to do a project where we had to present our favorite book to the class and read a bit out loud. Some boy choose Harry Potter 1 and through his summary and the tidbit he showed us I got this weird notion that it was more of an Enyd Blyton style mistery with some magical boarding school stuff thrown in and maybe a little bit of magicians of caprona.

Wasn't until over a year later when a friend lend me the Chamber of Secrets and I subsequently fell in love with the book series and realized after reading the first book that I had actually heard of it before.

To this day I get a slight disconnect when I think about that first version/feeling and the actual book series (which was a very different animal).
While I wouldn't say that my first experience had any longterm consequences on my enjoyment or interpretation while reading the books it did actually keep me from picking it up at first.
