minavoxI'm hoarse and have a headache and the kids are jumping all over the flat screaming Bombarda Maxima and Protego at the top of their little lungs, bless them.
I've finally started reading Harry Potter to them.
OMG, the kids are big enough that I now can read Harry Potter to them!!!
Conclusions so far:
The Dursleys are mean. Hagrid is the hottest shit under the sun. *facepalm* Dudley's school uniform for Smeltings is cool. (Knickerbockers! *giggle*) And everytime something unexpected threatens to happen they clap their hands over their ears and jump in with "is this the evil wizard???" Fandom osmosis, I tell you.
This could be fun, tracking their reactions.
Otoh, the German translation is no fun at all. And: they made me read 70 pages and demand more, more, MORE! (Grouch rubs his hands in glee and crows something about this being my own fault and how many volumes are there again???)
