great news that students are reading something other than assigned books. Although the real impact of HP is how the series has introduced a new generation (young & old) to reading books of all kinds!

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

That's a surprise to me. The girls vs. boys thing. Because if you take a look at the amount of girls and boys here on SS. According to my experience, there are way more girls in love with Harry Potter than boys. I guess they haven't spoken to my brother.  s him.

Well, of course they're reading HP. You should see all of the copies checked out at the school libraries. And Deathly Hallows has been out for almost a year.
