Same here. I stubbornly refused to look into the books until after Goblet of Fire was out. Then a friend gave me the first two for birthday; I read them in one weekend, went into a bookshop on Monday and bought the next two, and have been hooked ever since. Sure, I wouldn't put JK Rowling in the same league with, say, Donaldson, McKillip or LeGuin, not to mention Tolkien, but what she does, she does well.

Beyond that, my tastes run more toward horror than fantasy.

Do you like Lovecraft (Howard Phillips, i mean
)? Some of his early stories sort of border on the fantasy genre, but personally, I prefer the Cthulhu stuff.
