I can''t get into HP. I wish I could but I''ve tried several times without luck. I just can''t get into fantasy. When I was younger I did read a magic series by Edward Eager, and I loved them. Two of the ones he wrote are called ''Half Magic,'' ''Seven Day Magic,'' and there are a few others in this series. Apparently, they''re considered classics -- they were written in the ''50s and early ''60s.
They are classics! I read one of them, Half Magic, to my fifth grade English class just a couple of years ago and they loved it! I couldn''t keep my voice from shaking when Martha wishes that the cat could talk and she can suddenly ''half'' talk. That angry cat berating the children is one of my favorite passages in all literature!
The author who inspired Edward Eager, E. Nesbit, also wrote wonderful children''s books, like The Five Children and It in exactly the same genre.

Thanks for the info. Deb! I''ll have to read Edward Eager''s books again and check out E. Nesbit''s books too.
