James and I are proud to announce that we've both finished the Harry Potter series, and we loved every page of it! What a brilliant author. What a fantastic series. I do think it's a bit strong for younger audiences and while reading, I kept thinking how crazy it was that 3rd graders read it! It's intense but just SO good. The best part was reading it with James at practically the same time. We staggered a little, and he took the last book to training, so he finished first. He almost read it again on that trip... that's how much he liked it. And when he got back and I was reading it, he kept asking, "What's Harry doing now?" After each book, we rented the movie, and it was great to not wait for them.... until now. =( We decided this is the best way to read a series -- when all the books are already out!So, I can officially call myself a teacher now (right, Mrs. Andersen?) and the only challenge is, we have to find another series that can match it. Thank you, Ashna, for sharing your precious books.

YEA!!! I'm so happy for you!! :) Isn't she brilliant? You make me want to read them all over again. We should visit soon. YOu know.. to say hi.. not just for the books. haha
You guys are nerds but that's why I love you! You and James should be Harry and Hermoine for Halloween if you don't do the other one!! :)
I loved those books, too. And now, Hayes who is 10, is reading them (although he did have to take a break because he needs to read ARC books for school). I agree about books that are a series. They don't get read until all of them have been published. With Natalie's comment, I guess I am a nerd too!!!!
I'm so glad you loved them! They really are the best series ever! Ok now I think you need to read the Hunger Games series. I loved those books! The 3rd book won't come out until next year, but thats ok right?? I miss you!!!!
