on the couch for over half and hour  and talked abut Harry Potter 
and what we thought would be coming in the next  book and the 
upcoming movie in November. My mom and grandma both read Harry

Hi Debby, welcome to OT Chatter! 

I have always enjoyed stories of how Harry Potter has caused people 
to make connections they might not have otherwise. JKR has done so 
much more than just write a book. I have taken great pleasure in 
having conversations about HP with total strangers when the subject 
has come up. Making the connection within family is even nicer! 
Listening to what others have to say about what they think will 
occur will often trigger new ideas and thoughts about the books and 
even change what outcome I expect for the books. I guess you and 
your family can say HP rules!
