Harry Potter Fever is rampant in our house. A couple years back we started reading the series to the kids and Eva took to it immediately. She now reads the first three books over and over. She did not do so with book 4, though and we are currently reading book 5. We won’t finish before October 30th, however but we can at least begin playing the LEGO Harry Potter video game maybe Years 1-4 at least. The game is coming to the Nintendo Switch and also to the XBox One on that date and I certainly hope to be able to ring you coverage of the game when it releases. You can see the great trailer for the release below. It makes me want to play right now!

The full announcement is below.
