Harry Potter

[come dance with me]

We have the books to finish but we've seen all the movies now. They were fantastic. I love them all. We aim to own all the movies as well as all the books.

The next adventure we will embark on is Pirates of the Carribean.

I read all the Harry potter novels before I saw the movies which I think was really good as the movies dont show half of what is in the books. You will love Pirates of the Carribean we are waiting for the fourth to come out on dvd to join our set.

I LOVE the books, have the whole series but I can't stand the movies. Just dosen't follow the storyline all that well for me. I know they can't fit everything from the books into the movies but I come away feeling dissatisfied. Oh well. Now, i'm getting into the Percy Jackson series and the Kane Chronicles. I'm an adult but I love these books.

My oldest son (10.5 yrs old) loves the Percy Jackson books and the Kane Chronicles. I decided to pick the first Percy Jackson book up and read a little bit. It was a good read! He didn't like the Harry Potter books though.

I love the Harry Potter books. My favorite is the last one. It reads like an account of the holocaust. When I was teaching High School English, it hadn't come out yet, and after I read it, I wished I was still back in the classroom. I taught at a rural "southern" school where there was quite a lot of racism. I would have loved to assign the books as a major test grade replacement. I would have had them write a paper comparing and contrasting it to the holocaust and describing how we could use the examples presented by Harry in our lives today. *sigh*

We've read the whole of the first book. It worked out well for us to watch the movies first because my dd has autism and without the movies she wouldn't be as interested because she can't imagine what she's reading but she can think back to the movies while I read them to her.
