I've been rereading the series by reading them to my six-year-old daughter, aloud, a chapter at a time before bed. I think I may have erred in letting her see the movies first, but possibly not, as she's been paying more attention to this reading (as opposed to The Hobbit, which we did a year ago) because she already has the images in her head. In any case, it's awesome seeing them through her eyes, since I was already out of college when Sorcerer's Stone came out.

She draws pictures of the characters and scenes as I read. I need to scan some of them and post (with her permission) soon. :)
