...is becoming something of an obsession. We've now finished the first book and watched the film on dvd, which they only found a little bit scary in a couple of places. We're now a few chapters into the second book, with both K & M very keen on my reading it constantly. I think we'll be okay for this one and possibly the next one (for book three, I have warned them about the dementors and both of them are saving some of their Christmas chocolate for when we get that far), but it's going to be tricky persuading them to wait until they're a bit older for the books that I'm convinced will be too dark and scary for them at the moment. I'll have to try to come up with a good alternative that we can get into in the meantime.
M in particular would very much like to take up Quidditch, but when I commiserated that it's a shame that only witches and wizards can play (I know that there is Muggle Quidditch, but I don't think it would cut it), she pointed out to me that she still might be a witch as she's too young to have received her letter from Hogwarts!
My three girls all waited in vain for their Hogwarts letters to arrived on their 11th birthday - in which they all finally concluded that they wouldn't have receive one as they're all home educated witches anyway! x
ReplyDeleteLove that! When - I mean *if* hers doesn't arrive I'll have to remember that. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust seen this after writing on a more recent blog of yours that Jessy is currently obsessed with Harry Potter! We have had lots of letters arriving from Hogwarts (which he wrote but I hope he never catches me saying that!)and apparently he is going early because he is such a powerful wizard!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I hope he's been using a quill and ink?
