So my DD13 and I have "grown-up" with Harry Potter. I started reading them to her when she was about 3 1/2 and we have gone to the midnight parties for the new releases of books and movies. We have read them as a family together around the table taking turns reading them out-loud. Hermione was a savior of a role model about being smart and into books. Of course we are doing the midnight showing of the last movie...and we both cry at the preview or when we see posters etc. We are having marathon movie watching, re-reading books, playing Harry Potter Trivia. I have to say, the Harry Potter series has been one of our "gifted resources" when I knew and understood so little of what was going on......
