I’ve taken a good amount of hear over the past few years from friends and co-workers whom are a little younger than me for never reading any of the Harry Potter books. Recently on lunch at BAM!, Honey Badger and co-worker Lauren gave me yet another Harry Potter recommendation and also one of the guys chimed in too. If a random person says I must read it, then truly that’s a sign.
AFter a few tries, it was finally available and I snatched it up right away before a 10 year old could get it (well, not really. I’d of relinquished it to a information hungry youngster of course). The book was well worn, a sign of a good one when at a library.
Having seen only bits and pieces of the numerous films, almost all of it was wonderfully new to me.
Just a few pages in and I could see why this series had been such a hit. There was a terrific blend of adventure and humor that really induced several, “it’s not too late to read one more chapter” moments.
I hadn’t realized that Harry at one point resided in a cupboard. So very much did I learn.
I’m sold like a little kid. Just picked up the second book, the Chamber of Secrets.
