Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is soon to be published.
My daughter Anna Patricia has been reading the Harry Potter collection since 2000. My daughter Sophie has been reading them since 2005. Currently they are reading them aloud to me while I read along. We should be finished with all the books in the collection before the last one is published.
So much controversy has surrounded the publication of the Harry Potter books. JK Rowling is very talented and has awakened and fed the imagination of children and adults worldwide.
The only possible harm I can see in these novels is the distraction and escape they bring from duty and responsibility. It is fun to stay in the world of fantasy and that can cause us to neglect our responsibilities.
The movies are fun too, but differ from the books quite often.
The books are a great character study. We can all learn what we want to be like and what we don't desire to be like from the author's characters.
What books are of interest to you lately?
