Well by saying you don't know anyone that hasn't read through the 1st 4 books, that's like saying, I don't know anyone that hasn't been to 400 Yankee games that isn't a fan.
My GF reads the HP books, and wanted me to read it. I can't read something with the ludicrous childish names that are plastered all through it. I think I read 2 pages and gave up. Plus I'm not real big on the whole "chosen one" syndrome. I like my heroes to be someone that is just doing their thing and get caught in a bad spot. Kinda like John McClaine in the Die Hard movies.
How about someone saying he hates the Yankees without ever seeing them play?
To clarify, there is only 1 person I know that didn't like the book that much after reading 1 and 2. Then a year later, he decided to keep reading just for fun, and now loves it.
You can double that count. I read all the previous books multiple times. I still don't see the fascination.
