Reading harry potter is fun

Last week was Reading is Fun week so perhaps its appropriate that Saturday, when he was supposed to be going to sleep, our seven year old finished reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. We knew that he was reaching the end of the book and figured that he finish it the next day. I know that the ending is quite exciting and I guess he just couldn't put it down.

He has loved the Harry Potter series. And to see him reading the books (and mostly) comprehending what he's reading is really thrilling.

I was discussing the Harry Potter series with some of my other children last night. My 12 year old made an interesting comment. He said that his little brother's favorite book (so far) is the Goblet of Fire and his least favorite is the Sorcerer's Stone. The 12 year old attributed that to his brother having read most of the former by himself whereas I read him the first book. He thought that it can't compare reading a book oneself than having it read. I think he's right.
