My Little Harry Potter

For the past several weeks the kids have been playing "Harry Pottter".  It's been so fun to watch them recreate the story.  The Husband has been reading to them each night and we are currently on book #4 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  When they play "Harry Potter" they make each room in the house a classroom from the books or "Hagrid"s Hut" or the "Burrow".  They make signs and have created wands from sticks they found in the yard.  They also made a red lightening bolt scar from red paper and taped it to J's head because he is always Harry, A is Hermione and C is Ron.  


We have a "rule" in our house where we ask that you first read the book before you see the movie.  As was the case with Harry Potter.  Once we read the first book we then watched the first movie and so on.  We are currently waiting for Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban from Netflix.  


The kids in the movies wear ties when they are at Hogwarts as part of their school uniform.  This is why my C has been wearing a red tie each day, because he IS Harry Potter (when J is not home), and because I assume from all the pretend playing they have been doing for weeks.


So that's the story behind My little Harry Potter.
