We don't need no education

katlinel has a splendid post about the Harry Potter books as boarding school stories rather than fantasy books.

Ours has 'abridged' on the cover. A little bit about abridged versions here (and read down); I suspect that your copy will be unabridged.

Glad to hear its a Xmas tradition with you too! Usually we try to watch it in one sitting, and I always fall asleep partway through, so I've never got to the end! We've been wiser this year, watching two episodes a night. It's been very Christmassy.

It sounds like we do have an unabridged copy. Phew...

Glad to hear its a Xmas tradition with you too!

Definitely. It's our ultimate Christmas weapon in a campaign to revive flagging Christmas spirit. The Box of Delights and a blast of Vaughan-Williams Hodie and we're all set. We usually watch an episode a night up until Christmas but we've mistimed it this year as we're going away tomorrow and are only on episode 4. I think we may have to take it with us!
