She read 3/4 of the first book before it got too scary and she stopped (which means she totally missed Dumbledore awarding 5 points to Griffyndor because Neville stood up to his friends [which is much harder than standing up to your enemies, but I digress]). She just finished the second book, which she loved. She's developed the most adorable squeak in response to each appearance of Lucius Malfoy.
She got the third book down from the shelf and started to read it. I told her she needs to go to sleep and can finish reading tomorrow. And then we had this conversation:
Cate: This book is so tempting. It's so good, Mommy.
Me: What's good about it?
Cate: Everything! The words, the language. It's so juicy!
Me: I'm so glad you like it, honey, but you still need to go to sleep.
10 minutes later I go to check on her and find this. She's totally pretending to be asleep here. As I type this I can hear her giggling at the book.

Has she checked out The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne Vallente? It is a funny, clever book and September is a lovely, feisty, interesting heroine.
I LOVE her description of the book! So, is she going to be a creative writer? Or maybe an English professor?
