It may be cliché to write about how much Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling impacted my life but
the truth is that I would never have discovered the joy of reading without that
series. Harry Potter is a gateway for so many other children to the world of
reading. While you read those books you could escape into a world so magical you
didn’t know was possible. Thinking about the world of Harry Potter brings me
back to when my mother and I would practice reading by switching who read aloud
each chapter. I felt so proud when I had graduated from this that I began to read them
by myself. Harry Potter is and always will be a large part of my life. Having
read them twelve times I learned so many
life lessons and can hardly be seen
without them.
I have noticed that several people wrote of reading with their parents. I think it is interesting that so many of us have had that simple experience. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joey. I find that interesting too. Parents probably find that it bonds them with their kids and I know that I personal learned from it.
DeleteI also loved the series. You have such a clear voice and I can sense your passion. I would expand this blog entry. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you. They are so good. They will always be my favorites.
