Harry Potter Mania



Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
has finally arrived on DVD! If you are like me, whenever a new movie in the series comes out, it makes me want to go back and re-read the book that movie was based on. For those of you who have read all the books before and are looking for something a little different, I highly recommend checking out our audiobook versions. The narrator, Jim Dale, has done a fantastic job with them, and you will find yourself falling in love with the books all over again.

And just a few questions to think about:

  • Which Harry Potter book was your favorite? Why?
  • What do you think of the Deathly Hallows movie?
  • Who is your favorite Harry Potter character?
Please leave your answers in the comments!
