[HPFGU-OTChatter] A bit of sunshine...

[Meredith Wilson]

I had a similar experience with my non-reading husband, and now he's not
only read the books, been competing with me for the best trading cards and
fighting with me over who gets to wear my Hogwarts jacket, he's been reading
chapters aloud to me everynight before bed.  It's been very fun.  

Also we were playing a game last night with the family (my mom came to visit
in Seattle, was due to go home Wednesday, so we still have her) and we were
all supposed to guess my mom's favorite book.  Well, we all came up with
answers, but her answer was Harry Potter!  I'm so proud!  I convinced her to
read them.  This is my 62 year-old mother saying her favorite book is Harry
Potter!  Made me laugh, anyway.

**That is great news! Even though my husband has not
**read the books, he has listened to everyone of them!
**Every night it is reading time for an hour or more.
**The boys and I read all 4 American versions and are
**now on GoF British. He was listening the whole time
**even with the first 3 British books too! So when we
**played the HP Trivia game, he did really well for a
**good listener! I keep him up to date with what goes on
**with our online HP family. Who knows, he just might
**join! Thanks, Amber for that wonderful sunshine! We
**all need some happy posts. After you see HP/SS, you
**can go again with him! The more the better!
