I had a kind of opposite experience where I was really into them around 3rd/4th grade…then my family transferred me from public school to a private religious school where the teachers were actively campaigning against the books (because GASP witchcraft), so I ended up never finishing the series past the fourth book.

I actually feel very robbed bc I was at just the right age to be growing up with them and didn’t get to have that experience due to religious bullshit :(
