Audriana and Harry Potter

Well....she did it!  We are so proud of her!  

She finished all 7 Harry Potter Books!!!!  

What an accomplishment!

She had to wait until she was 9 to begin reading the Harry Potter series, so she asked for the books for her birthday.  Aunt Kristi gave her all 7 books on October 11 2011, and she promptly began reading book #1.  She was immediately drawn in to the story and was soon bringing her book with her everywhere -- even in the car on the way to school, so she could read for 10 minutes more.  She kept reading and kept moving on to the next book in the series.  When she got to book 5, I thought to myself, "this book has almost 900 pages, it's going to take her a while".  She had a goal to finish book 5  by NYE, and guess what?  She did!  She completed all 7 books on January 22nd 2012 -- just 3 months after receiving the books.  Aunt Pam and Uncle Todd gave her the entire set of DVD movies for Christmas (clearly her favorite gift of all!) so she has also been able to watch all the movies. It's been so much fun for her -- and so much fun for Martin and I to watch her do this.  I don't know many 3rd graders who can say that they have done that.......we are so proud!  Just this morning she told me that she was going to read them again -- I believe she will!  :-)
