Harry Potter has been a uniter. It has become a family enjoyment, starting with me and going into its second generation. I fell in love with the books as a newly wed, fresh out of college. It became an obsession and I dragged my husband to midnight releases and movie screenings. The fascination HP creates awakes your imagination and lets you believe anything is possible. As I became a mother I hoped to enjoy the books with my children.. and alas I did. My son became an avid reader by third grade and read all seven books on his fifth grade. We watched the movies as a family and even my husband, who's not a reader and my young daughter enjoy them. We make it an event, a special movie night. It doesn't matter how many times we watch them there's always something new to discover. I find myself dueling with my kids around the house to see who can remember the most defensive or offensive spells. Thankfully I never have been "cursed" by my kids. Harry Potter will always hold a very special place in my heart and that of my family. It will be a bittersweet experience to watch this last movie, but all good things have to end. Thank you JK Rowling and thanks Harry!
