Luckily it looks like the stone broke up and is dispersing so after dispensing a pain med Harry Potter was rescheduled for the afternoon and I got an afternoon alone to start planning for BlogHer! I could be all stupidly happy without anyone around to notice.<br /><br />Any book series that can get a kid to read is worth it. Anyone should know that! Get them started and watch them go!Pop and Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293232401852452071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923275034966633229.post-55155211252276145772009-07-15T18:19:48.627-07:002009-07-15T18:19:48.627-07:00I love Harry Potter!!!

Bliss.<br /><br />Looking forward to the movie - of course I probably won't see it for awhile, but I'm hoping it won't be too long!DKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564455767137872485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923275034966633229.post-61518677670486574192009-07-14T23:11:24.629-07:002009-07-14T23:11:24.629-07:00My 11-year old daughter and wife have both read th...My 11-year old daughter and wife have both read the Harry Potter series, twice!

(sigh)<br />She said that we had to go around the room, state our name, our job assignment, and the last book we read. This was at the height of Harry Potter mania. Instead of joining together in fraternity and cohesion, things quickly went awry when the entire faculty either chose Harry Potter OR the Bible as their book of choice. Immediately, the Harry Potter-ists became evil doers and the Bible-ists becaome holier-than-thous. <br />Pandemonium ensued. I threw a wrench in the proceedings when I said that my book was The Princess Bride, The Good Parts. No one knew what to label me. "Isn't there witchcraft in that book?" I heard the Bible-ists whisper. The Potter-ists wondered if I only read the good parts of the book or if that was the real title. <br /><br />Anywho. <br /><br />I do love Harry Potter. They are way fun. And yes, very much worth the read, for folks of all ages. Nay-sayers are silly.<br />:)<br />Enjoy the film!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488794307486861447noreply@blogger.com
