THE PHOENIX RISES AGAIN
There
has been a resurgence of interest in the Harry Potter franchise lately.
Various books in the series are being read by 4 out of 6
citizens. All ages are reading them - and the ones that are not of
reading age are playing with Harry Potter toys.

It is reminiscent of a time, many moons ago, when Lolli first read the Sorcerer's Stone and she had a Harry Potter party. And, even a decade before this party when Jen and Matt first read the Harry Potter books.

It
is almost magical how Harry Potter has remained so popular over such a
long period of time in the PUTP. The story is so well written, so
creative, so imaginative, that minds off all kinds enjoy it...even
obsess about it.

The
battered copy of The Philosopher's Stone has been read over and over and
over and over and over and over (at least 10 times) by everyone over the
age of 5.

Matty
just finished rereading it and commented, "...it really it magical, in a
fun whimsical way...there is adventure, wit, humour, friendship, and
the triumph of good over evil." No sooner had he turned the last page
of book one he picked up book two.
