Too old for HP
Jul. 18th, 2005 05:37 pmMy daughter did some babysitting today, and the mother, in
conversation, asked what she did on the weekend. "I was reading the
latest Harry Potter," she said.
"Aren't you a little old for Harry Potter?" the mother aked, regarding
my 19YO daughter skeptically.
"I don't think so; I had to fight both my parents for reading time."

Date: 2005-07-23 01:21 am (UTC)yeah its just those 10 year old boys now who HP encouraged to read in the past might not be too keen on her latest. I love her latest - it had me hooked. Don't get me wrong just a conversation I was having saying she has changed the level and I have students who are 7 trying to stumble through reading it all and it is more angsty and full of more than it was. Least HP isn't whinging the whole way through the latest unlike the last one. So that is an improvement but with deaths and all that.
