Under the spell of Harry Potter

I think it was just six months ago that we gave Reed the first of the Harry Potter series of books. He roared through that 400+ page book in a matter of hours, not days. The same with the next six books...so into them that he stayed up late, got up early and read in every spare second during class. Now I think it's safe to say that he's read all seven of the books at least four times apiece, if not more. And as always, lest we think that he can't possibly really be absorbing what he's reading...he is. You can ask him anything about the books and he'll answer. He's watched a few of the movies, and he knows what's different about the movie than the book (and he's not too happy that the movies are different).

Give him a book, and he's a happy, happy kid.
