Adventures in Harry Potter

[przed]

In the wake of Ros' Harry Potter obsession, I picked up the first book this week. We're now three chapters in, and I have to say I'm enjoying reading it aloud far more than I did reading it to myself back when it first came out.

Having an appreciative audience probably helps. Ros giggled through the entire chapter of Harry getting all those Hogwarts letters. And she let out a long dismayed "nooooo" when the chapter was over.

Ros and my grandson are about the same age (I think she's slightly older) and funnily enough I was wondering whether to start reading that first HP with him sometime soon. The answer, from your experience, seems to be a resounding *yes!*

Ros is 8 1/2, and is enjoying it immensely. I think a few of her friends started reading them last year, so your grandson is probably at a good age to start.
