Last night I started re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (obviously I'm an American and couldn't be bothered with the word "Philosopher's"). Over the last few years, I've read all the books (save the last) multiple times. This time, I'm reading all seven books straight through. I want to experience the whole narrative in one swoop. Also, I'm curious how long it will take me.
I have to say, I was immensely pleased with the first chapter which takes place on the morning following the death of Lily and James Potter and the disappearance of Voldemort. So much of the story is already laid out, including references to characters and situations we won't encounter until several books later. Wonderful.
I'll update as I go. In the meantime, check out these really interesting articles about the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Warning: if you haven't read the last book, these articles contain Spoilers.

Read all the Dune books in a row, and I'll be impressed.
