Today is Harry Potter’s very famous birthday –
July 31st so I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to
Harry, Ron, Hermione and all of their wonderful magical and muggle friends for
the amazing memories.
Reading the Harry Potter books with my daughters,
and later fighting over who would be first to read each new addition to the
incredible series, these books were a big part of our lives. Harry and his friends may have had the power
to cast spells, but for us the real magic was the special memories and the love
of reading that these books inspired.
I also want to extend a special thanks to JK
Rowling for all of the many lessons she gave us, not just through her novels,
but through her life. Lessons like
determination – when she was a single mom, out of work, being rejected by
numerous publishers, yet she persevered.
I look forward to the day when I will be able to
share these books with grandchildren, watching them fall in love with Harry and his friends just like
my girls did (NO PRESSURE girls, I’m not in a big hurry for grandkids).
Today might just be July 31st to some,
but for me it will always be a very magical day – Happy Birthday Harry

It's so fun to see the cast when they were so small and now they're all grown up. Time goes by quickly.
