Just before Christmas I had my first costume fitting. I felt like a prince trying on the velvet outfit. This month I had my 10^th birthday and my parents gave me a copy of the book. It’s really helping me understand the story and get into character. The passages about Cedric muddling up his words and spellings make me laugh as I used to do the same when I was 7, which is the age Cedric is in the story.
