Yes-- again and again and again... :)<br /><br /><b>Sarah~</b> I wish I could relive the first-time reading experience! (Might even be worth a dose of amnesia... ;) ) But I understand wanting to hold back until she's really ready. Sometimes I wish I saved the books for our oldest until she could read them herself. But then again-- I wouldn't want to trade the precious memory of experiencing the girls' reactions to the story when I read it to them.<br /><br />(PS-- Melissa Anelli just posted a very moving video on the Pottercast Youtube channel about the Iranian election, too.)<br /><br /><b>katcampbell~</b> You're welcome! And that's what makes the fandom's influence even more special to me. Many of the kids that are listening to the fandom "leaders" could easily have been the left behind, poor readers, struggling to finish school types. But thanks to HP they are readers and successful students who are now contributing to such positive global movements. Wow-- the power of a children's book!Ainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402176500997528105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072625157925960817.post-70022526572660611102009-06-16T22:37:55.756-04:002009-06-16T22:37:55.756-04:00I hadn't been following the fan sites, so than...I hadn't been following the fan sites, so thanks Aine.

I've been getting that itch to start (again!) the series for my daughter, but will hold off a little longer. She has so much to look forward to, though. <br /><br />I did check out the website you pointed to, and it's filled with wonderfully inspiring anecdotes. More importantly, they make you want to do something nice for someone in return. Unity, indeed. :)Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072625157925960817.post-3180095404476448792009-06-10T04:19:03.106-04:002009-06-10T04:19:03.106-04:00came thru your blog while surfing... and HP name m...came thru your blog while surfing... and HP name made me read it... ya one more HP fan... i read whole series and almost lived in that world those days leaving this real world... hee hee<br />i can read them again n again..!! :)~ Lopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298537040908969550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072625157925960817.post-52134927443219951652009-06-08T18:39:28.185-04:002009-06-08T18:39:28.185-04:00We are all fans here.

I'm trying to blog more often. :( A bit of pressure is good. It reminds me that I'm valued. I've just been so swamped with the end of school year activities.

GO READ HARRY POTTER! <br /><br />Okay, now that that's off my chest... :P Seriously though, if you ever feel like reading the series, let me know. I have so much to share that would make the experience even more delightful. As I mentioned to Aniket, I think there is something compelling to idealists in the books. (Obviously all types and cultures relate to the story because there are so many layers or contexts in which it can be read.)Ainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402176500997528105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072625157925960817.post-59759875268760630392009-06-02T21:49:17.879-04:002009-06-02T21:49:17.879-04:00Do you know that I have never read a Harry Potter ...Do you know that I have never read a Harry Potter book? And I saw the first movie only. Don't ask me why. My mother was into it, and my kids, but somehow the whole thing passed me by and I never participated. It is fascinating to watch the hoopla though!
