2000, once Goblet of Fire came out in hardbound.
Stephen King had very highly recommended these when he was recovering from being hit by a van in June 1999. Until that point, King was the only novelist I would buy in hardbound without having already read the book from the library or from a friend. But based on his review, I ran out and bought all 4 existing books in hardbound.... and then battled my daughter for rights to read them first LOL.

2003. It was the wettest summer on record here in NC, so there was plenty of time to sit inside and read. I think I read the first 4 or 5 books about 4 times each that summer.

It feels like more than half the times I've posted on hatrack its been about Harry Potter. I'm a lurker except for when hatrack discusses Harry Potter, haha! I swear I'm not a fanatic.

I read the first one in 1999. I read the third one when I bought it at a library sale in, I think, 2003. I read the whole series when the last one came out, whenever that was. 2007 or 2008?

I'm not positive, but I think I read the first one in 2000. My niece Mary read it when she was still 10, because she was waiting eagerly on her 11th birthday for her letter from Hogwarts. I remember that for sure. She was born on Tiananmen Square day, which Wikipedia says is June 4, 1989. So she turned 11 on 6-4-2000, and I'm pretty sure we discussed it and I had read it by then.
