When I was in the Marines, my mother bought me the first two books in this series. As a teacher and an anglophile, my mother was instantly interested in the Harry Potter series. I was pregnant at the time and would spend hours reading to my belly. By the time the 4th book was released, I was standing in a book store at midnight with my infant daughter in a baby seat. I immediately began reading the book to her as I rocked her to sleep that night. I was able to discuss the books, as I read them, with my mother who was in Florida while I lived in California and then Arizona. As my daughter grew, she became interested in the series as well. My daughter, who is autistic, was able to talk to me about these books and she was able to talk to my mother about these books. There is no other subject that we have been able to share with the same that night.

My daughter, who is autistic, was able to talk to me about these books and she was able to talk to my mother about these books. This wonderful series of books has been able to give my daughter, my mother, and myself a single topic to share and enjoy with one another. Three generations were brought together by this series. My mother passed away two years ago but I think of her every time I watch the movies and each time I pick up one of these books. Harry Potter has meant the world to me. Harry Potter was able to bring me closer to my mother before I lost her and was able to bring me closer to my daughter who I felt that I would never find.
