What aspects of the series made you a fan?

For example: the characters, the mysteries, the action, the
magic and the world itself etc.
I know it's probably a mixture for most, but just try to think
of the main ones.
I know when I read it for the first time I thought the mystery
aspect of the books were awesome and I kept reading to find out
what would happen.
Now I barely even think of the mysteries and relevations and
just read to immerse myself in the intricate world JK created.

The idea of a school for wizardry is total wish fulfillment.
Harry is actually excited to go to school, and for good reason.
Maybe Harry Potter (or more correctly, Hermione) made me more
eager to learn at school as well.

First and foremost - the believable characters. Even though the
story took place in a fictional fantasy world, at Hogwarts, the
characters were still real enough to connect with. And even
though they have magic at their disposal, Jo shows that they
still have problems that us "Muggles" deal with and that even
magic can't solve all your problems.
Second: the setting/world/environment. Again, Jo writes her
world so well, with enough details and background information
that gives the reader a sense that this could be real. Even her
world has a history to it. Jo revealse enough, not everything
though, but just enough for readers to want to know more because
it seems real and believable.
Of course the who magic school aspect was intriguing -
especially when you're very young and you actually expect for a
letter to come for you when you turn 11 because the seems so
real that it couldn't not be true.
