At the insistence of Jill, official older daughter of NewMexiKen, I have just read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first of the Harry Potter books (published 10 years ago).
I’d seen enough of the Potter movies with grandson Mack to have the gist of Hogwarts and all, but still the book was fun and engaging, well-worth the $3.61 a used copy of the paperback cost me.
Indeed, good enough to want to read Year Two.
I’m so proud of you.
Now, hurry on to year two. The books only get better, and you only have until mid July to catch up.
I’m on year four, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, since starting the series last year. Pretty good books even for those a little older than the target audience.
