What does Harry Potter mean to me? As a mother it has ment a HUGE difference in my sons education. He was never a reader and has struggled with some classes in school. Once these books started coming out, he started reading. I would catch him up at nite reading way past bed time. It was hard to say you need to go to sleep because he was actually enjoying reading. The summer he was tutored, the teacher used these books to motivate him with his learning. She would have two copies so she could read the chapters she was assigning him at the same time, she went on to read more even after the tutoring was over. He is a good kid (with some delays) so it is WONDERFUL that he has found something to be so interested in. He wants all of the lego sets and the last movie to add to his Harry Potter Books and Movies. For his 16th birthday, I threw him a surprise Harry Potter Bday Party with family. He is such a big fan. He had a friend here for 4 days prior to the release of the last movie so they could just have Harry Potter marathons, they talked, watched, breathed and slept Harry Potter. It was nice to see him socialize and engage in conversations for such a long period with a peer. I really wish there were books so he could keep on making progress....
