The HP series means alot to me. I started reading HP in 2000, after my 2nd baby was born. My daughter was just 3 then, so as long as she can remember I have always had my nose stuck in one of these books. She always saw me reading the books. My husband at the time and his family put me down constantly for reading them, calling them witchcraft books. But I am my own person and can come to my own conclusions about things. I defended the books, and I still do. When my my daughter took interest and decided to read the books too, it made me so happy. Not just that she was reading them because they are AWESOME, but that she does have a little of me in her after all.....she thinks for herself, despite what others may think. Harry Potter is truely OURS, and nobody can ever take that away from us. EVER. We have been to see every movie together, just me and her. Its so cool, as a mom, when your 14 year old (this month) puts off her friends, which are so important at that age, to hang out with mom. Harry Potter has given me a relationship with my daughter I may otherwise never have known. Thank you HP
