July 31 - Harry Potter’s Birthday
It’s only right that we should mention Harry’s birthday since the final book of the series was just published. I, of course, read it in one sitting. I won’t give away any details for those who still haven’t read it, but it was a satisfying ending.
I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun reading; the rich detail, the allusions to figures from myth and literature, the plot twists and turns. I look forward to the day when I can read the series again with my grandson. Until then, I’ll remain a Potter fan. I think the books had a lot to say about the world we live in today. And I hope–that like in the book–good will overcome evil at last.
