Not only do they latch on to a favorite character (Harry, Hermione, Ron, Albus, Hagrid, etc) but these characters and their actions/mistakes/ideals make them very clear role models that the kids learn from.If you ask me, I'll be reading the HP series to my own kids by the time they are in Kindergarden. Hopefully by the time they can read big books on their own I'll be able to hand them off so they read them to me :-D</blockquote>
