Gavin and I just finished reading this one. One of the highlights of my day is hearing him ask for "Hewwy Pottow!" at bedtime. We read it in Spanish when he was a newborn. I don't really have much to write about it, though, because I've read it enough times to not need help remembering, and if you know me then you don't need to be told how much I love these books. I own them in nine languages and have been to the opening party of every book and movie since the beginning. If you haven't read it, quit priding yourself on not being a bandwagoner and just buy one already. And if you want an even bigger treat, get the audio version narrated by Jim Dale. The guy is incredible. I'd listen to him read the phone book. From an English teacher's standpoint I could point out a hundred reasons why Rowling is an amazing author, but I'll spare you all that. Rowling is wealthier than the Queen of England and she deserves every penny of it. Hooray for Harry Potter!

We just finished this, too! I don't know how much actually "sticks" for Matthew, but he asks for it every night, so he must enjoy it!
So what are you going to read him next? I think I'm going to wait a year before I read Matthew the next Harry Potter. I'm thinking maybe Series of Unfortunate Events next?
Wish they wrote more "chapter books" that a four-year-old could understand!
