Everybody in the family awaits Harry

In my family, my 78-year-old mother, my 56-year-old husband, my 24-year-old daughter, my daughter's 26-year-old French boyfriend, and my nearly 14-year-old nephew are all eager to read the new Harry Potter. The marketing does not seem to have dampened the enthusiasm of my nephew who began reading the series when he was 10. I don't know how representative our experience is, but here, the Harry Potter books are loved by all with no age stigma attached to the reading pleasure.
