All About Harry Potter

Now about Harry Potter. Xiane didn’t really like Harry Potter when we tried to have her watch it last year. However, she was “forced” to watch the first movie and eventually was seduced to the dark side…hmm, sound like another movie to me. Anyway, since we’ve finished watching the movies, the next step was reading the books. I’ve read the books before and Mavis was able to finish the first 1 I think. Luckily, there was a seller who was selling the first 4 books for the price of 100QR. Mavis and Xiane are now on Goblet of Fire, while I bought and finished “The Half-Blood Prince”. Yesterday, Mavis bought Order of the Phoenix which I intend to read again after finishing “The Hobbit” (5-6th time reading it). Yup, Xiane is reading the books by herself. We know that it’s a difficult read and I’m sure she doesn’t understand half of what she’s reading. But we’ve been guiding her on things that she doesn’t understand and surprisingly, when we discuss about what she’s reading, she seems to understand and follow the story better than what we expect from her age. Good thing is that she doesn’t even really play with the DS right now but just keeps reading.
