<<wonder how many of those children standing in line will actually read the book and not just have it in their collection as a kind of status symbol?>> I'm sure there are a few out there. But there are far more who have read the books with joy, and who have found a love of reading through them. I had one low reader plow his way through the first book, reporting to me on each chapter he managed; he had to check it out 4 times to finish it. By the time he got to number 4, he was a fluent reader, and couldn't wait for number 5. My Harry Potter books have been worn out, replaced, and replaced again. This wouldn't happen if they were lying in backpacks for a week.

Is anyone else here as happy as I am that this is the last of the Harry Potter books? To see children lined up at midnight to get their Potter book to me is sisturbing. Why? Because I think they are victims of the Potter Media Machine that has turned this book into a "must have" or you're not cool thing. I think that children are being manipulated and used by the marketing firm who markets this book. I wonder how many of those children standing in line will actually read the book and not just have it in their collection as a kind of status symbol?
