Every time a Harry Potter book came out, we were amongst the first to buy it - not for our kids, but for ourselves. Well, my 5 1/2 year old daughter has just discovered the wonder of Harry Potter - I am suprised at how exciting this has been. Because

My husband and I are re-living the discovery of muggles and Hogwarts and house elves and Dumbledore and He Who Cannot Be Named and Hermione and Ron and Harry with such excitement, wonder, anticipation.

She is mesmerized and all morning, afternoon and evening, we are bombarded with questions about magic and wizards and invisibilty cloaks and Slytherins and Gryffindors. She is totally hooked and her imagination is racing. (No wonder so many parents and teachers and publishers love J.K. Rowling!)

Tara has also recently discovered the Wizard Of Oz, The Parent Trap, Annie. (And, well, I have to admit that it's not all my old favorites - High School Muscial is at the top of the mix.)

My husband is watching old Bollywood movies with them - a favorite these days is Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi with Kishore Kumar and his brothers. What a fun movie!

There is so much to look forward to - Nancy Drew mysteries, PG Wodehouse, Shakespeare, Footloose, Star Wars. There is so much to rediscover, and this time around it all holds even more magic and fun!
