re: Never read Harry Potter books

I didn't read the series or watch any of the movies until about 4 years ago. I was trying to get my oldest into reading and the ploy I utilized was reading the first book together, then we'd watch the movie. Needless to say, she didn't make it past the third book but I couldn't put the books down. Very well written. And I like that the books get more mature as the kids age.
