Prediction: a year after HPatMoR is finished, newbies will be as reluctant to read through it as they are relucant to read through the sequences now.
I tried to get my brother to read it, and while talking with him, we realized that the story had become longer than many of the Harry Potter novels themselves. It's sheer length is going to turn people off; he said he'd have to choose between reading it or reading another Discworld novel, and I didn't have a very good answer to that.
I'm already reluctant to read it, but that's partly because I haven't actually read all the books yet. ;)
That shouldn't stop you - knowledge of HP cannon is useful mostly for speculation purposes, in this case.
Can't guarantee it won't spoil you for reading about the cannon versions of the characters, though ;)
canon :)
I haven't read any of the books, or seen any of the films, and I don't intend to, but that hasn't stopped me appreciating HPatMoR.
I can understand that; I'm reluctant in part because I DO intend to read/see them.
Are you in the process of reading the books now?
Nope. I vaguely feel like it would be a good idea before seeing the last movie(s), but I haven't made a specific plan.
Before this goes too much further, I should note that I mostly haven't read it because I don't feel especially called to read it, not because these reasons are pushing me away.
