Now that the series is over, and we have to wait until summer 2009 for the next movie, what is a Harry Potter fan to do? Professor Stephen Brown of Ulster University in England has just finished a study that identifies the four types of Harry Potter readers. "Hufflepuff readers take the tales at a slow, steady and systematic pace and enjoy re-reading the books over and over.
Gryffindor readers are eager and energetic and will devour the latest Potter book in one sitting, but quickly move on to new things.
Ravenclaws are subversive and take the stories with a pinch of salt.
Slytherin readers are not fussed about the books. They prefer the films but pretend to have read the books when it suits them".
The library has Harry available in books, books on cd, books in other languages and dvds.
Since I'm a Gryffindor reader, here are the first books in the series that I read while waiting for my next Harry Potter fix. The first three have new books out!
