When the first HP book came out I heard about it on the BBC radio while sitting in my car eating my lunch. I heard about kids lining up round street corners to get a copy of the book. My English mum said, "Oh kids will never read a book over watching TV or a movie" But I knew there was something about this special book that was different. I bought a copy and sent it to my 8 yr old niece. She adored it and each time a new book came out I made a point to go on that day of release and buy it at once for my niece. Then I had my own daughter in 2001 and by 1st grade she had begun to read them. Now entering 4th grade, she has read the entire series 3 times, my husband(a writer) has read the series once and I am near the end of The Order of the Phoenix.. We have had a wonderful HP birthday party. We are seeing HP 7 tomorrow (dressed up of course, my daughter in her Hogwarts robe and hand knitted Gryffindor scarf). And on July 31, we are having a small HP party to celebrate JK Rowling's B-day, Harry Potters B-day, Daniel Radcliffs B-day and of course, the beginning of Pottermore. It is more than a dream to go to The Wizarding World of HP in Florida, we will make it there no doubt some day, but to win this trip would be spell bindly glorious! Please consider our family. We are tried and true fans! Hogwarts, Hogwarts, hoggy warty Hogwarts, Teach us something please, Whether we be old and bald, Or young with scabby knees!!!
