We both devoured the first 3 books and it was just our luck that the 4th book was coming out that summer. That began our Barnes and Noble ritual- we went at midnight to get our books and it was something I looked forward to from the minute I closed the new book (which was usually the day after it came out). I still read and reread the books all the time. I listen to Jim Dale read the audio version every night before I fall asleep (he is amazing). I think it is awesome that your daughter got to grow up with Harry, Ron, and Hermione! (Sorry this is so long- but HP is one of my all time favorite things). <br /><br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887055429481495116.post-65390200374695567872012-04-10T14:08:27.574-07:002012-04-10T14:08:27.574-07:00Great choice! :) My kids are a little older, but t...Great choice! :) My kids are a little older, but the magic still works!Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887055429481495116.post-27564981301407329822012-04-10T05:17:48.443-07:002012-04-10T05:17:48.443-07:00I love this book.
