Zoe and the seven Harry Potter books

Monday, April 13th, 2015

A big accomplishment for Zoe: She finished the seven books (all 3,400+ words) in the Harry Potter series. She started the first one at the end of winter break, and her interest in the books has slowly and steadily increased over the last few months. She entered spring break with a few hundred pages of book six left; I suggested she make it her goal to finish the seventh book within the week, and she read her last page yesterday morning.

I had been a little worried about what she would do once she was done (since she loves the books so much), but no need: Over the weekend, she found several other series-related books by J.K. Rowling, discovered Pottermore, and started reading the first book to her sister. (Avery is a big Hermione fan.)
