How old is she? I got my brother into Narnia when he was about 10 by reading the beginning of Lion/Witch/Wardrobe to him while he played and pretended not to be listening :) Got him hooked, did the 'read a chapter to him at bedtime' thing for a while, always leaving him wanting more, until he picked a book up to keep going by himself :D He was never that fond of reading, but Narnia played an important role.

Harry Potter, I think people make a mistake in starting too young. The books grow up fast, and a younger child is either not going to get half the stuff in middle to later books, or (if they do) find it too much. If you're going to do a book a year, starting at about 10/11 is good. If you're going to read them in one binge, start older. Even reading Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix when I was a little older than Harry, there were all sorts of bits that didn't make emotional sense to me. I reread them a couple of years later, and it made so much more sense. And the death in Goblet of Fire is horrible, whereas at the time I didn't think it was a big deal. Everyone is different, obviously, but don't think she needs to hurry into these books.

That's true. She's 10 soon, but I might have more luck once she is a little older. Although I imagine part of the problem with Narnia is I have all the books in one, so it looks like a LONG story. Even after I've explained that it isn't all one story, that might look daunting to a kid.

If I ever get around to Harry Potter, I probably won't be reading them to her in a binge, so about 11 might be the best.
