Laura Bush on Harry Potter

KING: We’re going to conclude tonight’s special edition of LARRY KING LIVE with two segments devoted to the wonderful, beautiful way they’ve done the White House for Christmas this year, and the first lady continues with us. We’re in the East Room.

BUSH: That’s right, the East Room. And as you know, the theme is the season of stories. And so we have “Harry Potter” here.

“Harry Potter” has really made kids read. Little boys are really reading “Harry Potter” all around the country. And I think that’s terrific.

KING: The world.

BUSH: Around the world, absolutely. I read them all this summer.

KING: You did?

BUSH: And I loved them.
