My nine year old son and I have been working our way through the Harry Potter series. It's been a long time since I've read these books on my own, and I have truly loved re-discovering them with my son. There are days when we only read one chapter, and days like last Monday (Memorial Day here in the U.S.) where we read for three hours.
So, I thought as a new feature on my blog, I would (try to remember to) post when we finished a book, and my son, Kevin, and I would do a little interview type review for each one. I thought it would be fun to look at books through the eyes of a nine year old. WARNING: May contain spoilers.
