I think you'll love Band of Brothers. I'm a WWII history buff, so I'm slightly biased, but I did enjoy it.
I've read all the Harry Potter's and have really enjoyed them too. Haven't seen the latest movie yet. Will have to wait till it comes out on DVD. It's my belief that anything that gets kids reading is wonderful. Reading has been one of the great joys in my life. I spend a lot of time waiting for doctors to get around to me, and as long as I have my book, I'm never bored.
Definition of "bummer": Finishing a book, and knowing the library is closed.
