An Epic Journey...

4224.

This is the number of pages I have read to my sons over the last year or so.

Today we read the last 120 pages in just under three hours.

So, we finished the Harry Potter series. All seven books. Out loud. Voices included! I do a mean Hagrid by the way. Voldemort's voice was a challenge. I don't know if I ever wrapped my voice around the high pitched whisper he exuded!

And what a blast it has been...

It is a bitter/sweet feeling, seeing it all come to a close. It has been riotous watching the boys laugh, jump, sit at rapturous attention, and to see it all come together in book seven was quite magnificent! I would never have read these books if it hadn't been for my boys, but to experience Harry with them has been an unforgettable journey.

It was good to have Alex along to explain what was happening every now and then and even Isaac added terrific commentary as well.

As the book came to a close, tears were shed, everyone hugged each other a little closer, and together, we turned the last page. Thanks Harry, for the great childrens' read and we look forward now to moving onto the Rings.

GOOOOoooooooooooooo Frodo!

    Harry Potter, is that guy still around? Didn't they make it into a movie, yet?

    Look at you... all sentimental over Harry Potter... you're getting old.
