Title: Seeking a Harry Potter fix . . .
Review: I, like many parents was thrilled when my son fell in love with "Harry Potter", and reading at the same time and I wanted to keep the magic (an unavoidable pun) going. We have discovered a number of charming fantasy books that keep the joy of reading alive and the concept of "fantasy" in perspective. "Ella Enchanted" is a delightful, refreshing version of Cinderella. There are subtle connections to the familiar fairy tale that I find ingenious.Ella is not Harry. I confess that I am one of the many adults who love Harry Potter. However, for parents who are bothered by the some of the darker sides of Harry Potter, especially where their younger children are concerned, Ella Enchanted is much gentler. It is an excellent example of pure, enjoyable fantasy.
