We're either going to have to start bedtime earlier or stop reading Harry Potter at bedtime, because he goes to bed LATE on the nights he asks for Harry Potter before bed.

Another late night staying up past bedtime reading Harry Potter. There's a lot of inadvertent misinformation in this one: I incorrectly attribute Ron's middle name (Bilius) to one of Molly's heroic brothers who died in the first Wizarding War against Voldemort, when actually he was named after a different uncle who was a sloppy drunk and died after seeing a Grim. Oops! I also do a horrible job explaining why trains need to have multiple cars. Eh, he'll probably turn out okay regardless. 

What is the plural of Pegasus? Pegasi? Pegasuses? I take a stab at this one as we stay up past bedtime once again.

We finished up Chapter 8 before diving into Chapter 9. We were reading while waiting for a visit from Nan, who arrives midchapter and sits down to join us as we finish.

Maaaan it is hard to hold to a firm bedtime when you're reading an exciting quidditch chapter!

So we've recently listened to a couple of our podcast episodes together--which is a bit of a surreal experience--and his biggest takeaway from those episodes is that the name of the podcast is no longer accurate. So remember: you're listening to Harry Potter with a six-year-old now! We also received a great voice message from a listener named Will! You can leave us a voice message too at https://anchor.fm/reading-harry-potter/message (Will, let us know the name of your podcast and we'll check it out!). 

Some more  bedtime reading.

Bedtime reading with new footie pajamas. Includes several necessary breaks to test the grippy-ness of the footie pajama feet on the bedroom's hardwood floor. 

Little brothers just want to be in the middle of everything you're doing, don't they?

I think, "Sorry, we can't keep reading. it's waaay past your bedtime already!" is going to be a frequent refrain this book.
