Caught up. This was actually taken on Day 21. Told you I'd get the spirit back.
My little girl became one of those special children who loves to read - as long as it's a Harry Potter book.
Here she is caught in the final volume, fresh from the store shelves, with rapt attention as all her favorite characters die a horrible death (or some such fun).
I've seen a few of the movies.
I don't get it.
I'm old.
There are no steroids in baseball, only players Chuck Norris has breathed on.
I was into the books from the very first day Vol. 1 was released (in Australia, that is), though I wouldn't go so far as to dress up for it. I do have an interest in children's literature. Vol. 5 has too many unnecessary words and should have been edited more severely.
This looks like a much bigger book than the English edition I saw in the store the other day - must be thicker paper....
I don't get it either. I think, honestly, that they're just mildly interesting kids' books (nowhere near the quality of, say, C.S. Lewis or Beverly Cleary) that got popular and then got great marketing and then went viral. I think in fifty years, a few people will still be reading the books, but mostly they'll be remembered for all the hype.
Nice photograph, though -- what a humorous expression. Your daughter seems like she must be a lot of fun. :)
This is wonderful for us Harry Potter fans. I've ordered my copy "snail mail" and should have it by the end of this week. No spoilers, please!
What I really love about this photo (besides the excellent exposure) is your daughter's expression. Combined with her red hair, she could be one of the Weasleys! ;-)
