I can't get very excited about Harry Potter. We've been reading Huckleberry Finn and, when in the car, listening to the radio theater version of Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
We had some Brit records of the Narnia books. Our kids loved it. One of our sons would get very quiet listening to the Horse and His Boy.
He's getting married now, and will no doubt read them to his (future)kids.
*Wondering where the time went*
YMMV
