I grew up reading and watching Harry Potter, having been only four when my mother started reading it to me, and five when the first movie came out. I admittedly watched the mailman hopefully on my eleventh birthday, I demanded a Harry Potter themed party for my eighth birthday, and after I came home from the midnight premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: It All Ends, my older sister and I stayed up and cried all night, because it meant that our childhoods were officially over. So, needless to say, in our house, the masterpiece that is Harry Potter will live on. Here's our biggest way; last year, a little while after I turned fourteen, my little sister was born. Because of our age difference, our whole family kind of raises her together. My older sister and I have a slightly different approach than my parents. We are making little Caroline a born and breed Harry Potter fan. For story time, I read her Tales of the Beetle and The Bard; we gave her a wand; while most kids watch Barney, she's watching the Harry Potter movies; while most kids watch various Disney musicals, she's watching A Very Potter Musical and Sequel (with the curse words bleeped out); for nursery rhymes we sing Ginny/Cho Chang's song, or Not Alone (both from A Very Potter Musical), and we're trying to get her first word to be a spell. (Is Alohamora too much to ask?) So we figure that soon enough, she'll be the world's first baby to be a huge Harry Potter fan. How do I make Harry Potter live on? By raising a Harry Potter generation!
