Potter

For the last year we have been reading the Harry Potter series. We are coming up on the last book. Ahh..what will replace the magical bedtime stories?? I'm thinking we will take a break from book series for a bit, but what a fun ride the Potter books have been. The characters have become so real to my kids, that I'm sure these will be re-read for many years to come.

Today, while I was at their school's library, I noticed all the paperback Potter books sitting on top of the bookshelf, showing their well loved pages. I thought about how many kids have spent years reading this series, over & over & the adults who stayed up late reading these aloud or even to themselves. So many people have connected with this magical group of people. I'm not sure exactly what it is about the characters, hogwarts, and all of their adventures, but it's easy to get hooked. i'll be sad when it all ends.
