If you want to inculcate the reading habit in your child but dont know how to go about it, heres an idea. Introduce your child to the magical world of Harry Potter, and youve got him hooked for life. Muggles just cannot seem to get enough of Harry Potter, the boy wizard. The wait is finally over for children and adults around the globe, as the much-awaited fifth book in the much-acclaimed series, has finally hit the stands. So who is Harry Potter? For those of you who have missed the earlier four books and are wondering what all the hype is about, heres a peek into Harry Potters world. While we cannot divulge all the details without spoiling the reading experience for you, suffice it to say that Harry is a young lad with a lightening shaped scar on his forehead, who has strange powers... powers that he didnt know he possessed until one day the truth was revealed to him: he is a wizard! Harry is then taken to Hogwarts, the where his powers are honed so he turns into one of the best students wizards in the school. During his term Harry is subject to all sorts of dangers by Voldemort (Oops, I said it!!), the Dark Lord, whos very name rings with evil vibrations and inspires deep fears in the hearts of all those that live in this parallel universe. While wizards and witches co-exist with humans or Muggles, they have their own rules, regulations, secret society, and even the secret platform 9 1/4 for catching the train to Hogwarts. The school is filled with ghosts, mystical creatures, and paintings that talk guard the entrance of the house dormitories. All photographs in the world of the wizards move about, snakes talk and cars fly. The book introduces you and your children to an entire new world of magic and mystery, and from the moment you start reading the first book, you are hopelessly entangled in the web woven by J.K. Rowling. J.K. Rowling has incidentally made so much money from the sale of her books that she is rumored to be richer than the Queen of England!The books in the Harry Potter series include: Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, also known as Harry Potter and the Philosophers StoneHarry Potter and the Chamber of SecretsHarry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanHarry Potter and the Goblet of FireHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix While you can read them in any order, just as you can watch a sequel before watching the first part, you enjoy the books best if you read them in the right order. The books follow Harrys journey in school, as he progresses from one grade to the next. Harry turns 15 in this latest book, and we cant help but wonder whats going to happen in the next two books. J.K. Rowling has promised 7 books in the series, but will fans be satisfied by that, or will they want more? Will there ever be a time when Harry the kid wizard going becomes Handsome Harry the Man? Only time will tell.

my daughter, though always a talented reader, really gained a love of reading after we read her the first harry potter book one year ago. after that she began reading the books on her own. now, at age seven, she is just about finished with book five. another series that your children may enjoy is the chronicles of narnia. i also want to add that though some people of my religion disagree with children reading books about witchcraft, my daughter does not, in any way, think magic is real or want to be a witch and still has much faith in god and believes just as strongly in our faith.
my daughter is reading her 3rd harry potter book which is fine for me. being hp fans ourselves, my hubby & i read the whole series, and we both agree that the ending of book 4 starts off a new era to this series. the death of an innocent boy comes as a shock to the reader & even though i'm a grown up it still affected me! book 5 is very dark & eventually book 6 is all about curses and revenge! so please think it twice before letting your children indulge in the 2nd part of the harry potter series.
so i don't want to reveal my true identity to any one . but hey ! i feel that i am cool . i am just ike any other kid ..... just a bit special ...... i can fly like you can walk and i can become invisible just like you hide .
