My daughter just accidentally said something extremely awesome.

She said, “Dad, I think audiobooks are more exciting than watching movies.”

She meant *Harry Potter*. She listened to the audiobook of the fourth book narrated by Stephen Fry, and then watched the movie afterward.

I asked her why, and she said that when listening it feels slower, but you can imagine what it looks like for yourself. Movies are different.

A fifth-grader brat captured one of the most important components of great literature: the reader’s imagination.
