So, as I mentioned a few days ago, I FINALLY bought the new Harry Potter book…and here I am with it. I actually bought TWO copies…one for me, and the other for a prize for Kat to give away to promote the Blogathon. She raised over $800 for the Montel Williams MS Foundation, and managed to stay up for the full 24 hours to do this. As someone who did the Blogathon a few years back, I know how hard this can be. I didn’t do it this year because we had other plans, but I might do it sometime in the future. It’s hard, but it’s fun, and very rewarding. Kat did an awesome job, and I’m glad that I was able to do my part to help out!

Anyhoo, if you think that I am going to read this new HP book now, you are wrong! I am going back to book one, and reading that through book six in sequence, before even opening book seven. And as I finish each book, I am handing them over to Mike, so he can finally read them, as well. Can you believe that he has NEVER read a Harry Potter book, although we have all of them here at home? He keeps saying he wants to, but never gets around to it. Now, he will. No excuses now!

He has seen all of the movies that are currently on DVD, as we have them all, and he enjoyed them. But I keep nagging him to read the books already. Although it is possible to enjoy the movies without reading the books, I still think that the books should be read.

As for book seven, I confess that I did peek, just a little, at some sites that had spoilers. But I’m staying away from those now so I don’t learn more than I already did, and I’m not telling you what I know!
