The wisdom of 4 year olds...

[susanbones2003]

Hi Michelle,
Dan/Harry continues to serve as our bridge to the world that JKR 
created. That he never tires or takes for granted the Wizarding 
World mirrors the fascination that we experience. I, for one, would 
be disappointed if Harry didn't get to marvel in delight at things 
such as a tiny tent that opens up into a comfortable, spacious 
shelter for the large group that needed it. Remember his first look 
at the Weasleys' home, the dishes washing in the sink, the needles 
knitting, all the odd, quirky delightful bits of magic? It was 
enchanting and Dan's face told the story. I believe he said in 
response to Ron's mumbled "It's not much" with "I think it's 
brilliant!"
And we did too.

wonder of it all, didn't he? Though I did love "I LOVE magic!" from 
GoF as well.
