Harry Potter

I'm still reading "Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince", so there is no danger of spoilers. I find it amazing that many of the people I work with are all reading this book or have already completed it. The cross-over appeal for children and adults is amazing.

I started reading Harry Potter shortly after the "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was published. A friend of mine loaned me the first two books. After reading the first book, I returned both books and bought all five.

I do wonder if they are suitable for young children, however. I was very frightened by "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". I'm not sure if is because I had a vivid imagination as a child. I've talked to others who did not find it as frightening. Maybe it's just me.

So I'm off to lunch to pick up the book once more. I'm at page 454. How much can I read in an hour?
