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! | |

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. | |

Wow. That is really awesome. To be honest I never thought boys would read Harry potter. I thought it was more of girls reading it, lol. But that is awesome that more boys are reading the books. | |
