Learner Dad: Everyone in my family is a Harry Potter stan, except me

My problem with Harry Potter is that I don’t like the jolly hockey sticks, English boarding school feel of the whole thing

I’m the only one in my house not reading Harry Potter books at the moment. And that includes my wife.

Our ten-year-old was the first in. She likes a good yarn and flew her way through the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series of books, which are very funny, and a training manual for kids on how to be sarcastic.
