A much younger me, ecstatic as can be, was gifted this set for her eleventh birthday. While she wanted to begin reading the books right away, despite all her friends being at the party, despite the leftover Halloween candy being thrown into the air above her head and despite the fact that the new Harry Potter DVD was playing in the background, she waited until each friend fell asleep. Then, carefully, she pulled the first book out of the box, unable to contain her excitement any longer. Next thing she knew, she was out of books.
