I started reading the Harry Potter books to the princess. She was way too young when the books first came out but I thought it was time for her to read them and they are so much fun, I decided to read them to her. We are just about to the sorting hat chapter in the first book.

The prince has been sitting in on the reading and that is very cool. He still loves being read to so this is nice that he joins us. It is actually quite interesting reading them while already knowing the story…like Hagrid borrowed Sirius Black’s motorcycle to take the infant Harry to the Dursley’s. Naturally the first time around I hadn’t a clue who SB was. Fun things like that are popping up. I’m also excited to read book five again, more slowly this time. I plowed through it so quickly last year that I don’t remember a thing.
