[Artemisia] OT and OOP Harry Potter

[Georgia Foster]

I discovered "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone" in a book store and it looked like fun, so I got a copy and read it.  I enjoyed it so I put it in the bookshelves at children-height.
 
The eldest found it, read it, loved it, and began to read aloud to the younger siblings in exactly the way I had read other books aloud to her and her brother when they were too little to read for themselves.
 
My ex instilled a hatred of reading in my kids.  The ex, you may understand, never saw the utility of reading for recreation and loathed reading for education (because it was required).
 
I am pleased to report that the Harry Potter series has kindled a love of reading for recreation in my younger two children and revived a tradition of reading aloud in my older two children.
 
I am the first to admit that the hype is just that ... but what the heck?  I would much rather they be hyped about books than many if not most of the options available.
 
two pennies nonce
