If you haven't already, you should read Matilda as well. It's a charming
book and Matilda has a few things in common with Harry Potter. :)

 
My response: 
 
I read "Matilda" once when I was in sixth grade, and again a couple of
years ago.  Wonderful wonderful book.  When I first began reading "Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer'a Stone" I honestly thought the storytelling was
a bit like Dahl's.  Anyone agree, or am I the only oddball?  Reading
that made me want to reread "Matilda" again.  
 
I haven't read "James and the Giant Peach" well, I've had it READ to me,
but I'd love to read that, and Dahl's other books as well.  Too bad I
don't live near a library ;)
