I was actually thinking about doing this. I was considering reading harry potter once I passed Spanish 4 or 5, probably 5 though. Or would I need more of an education to do so?

Chileno would want you to start today. Don't wait until you know more Spanish - reading the novel will get you there much sooner.

I agree. Start today and memorize the meaning of every word you don't already know. It'll work wonders.

I see. I guess that I could buy a spanish harry potter book from borders, right?
Also, should I start off with a book that's a little easier? Or do you think Harry Potter's okay? I think it's at a 5th grade reading level, I'm not quite sure. |

In my opinion, you can use any book at all. Read it slowly and look up every word you don't know. Write down, study, and memorize the words you don't know.

I also would recommend reading something in Spanish that interests you. I'm also a big fan of listening as well as reading. Here's a link to the text and audio files for El Principito by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

Aren't easy Spanish books sold there? Here you're able to buy easy English books, with several levels, based on longers novels. Usually they're some interesting novel in short, with easy vocabulary. They're good for starting

I do not think you would willingly read in English a kid's book nowadays, just because you want to read "something". Right? Quote:
Read something that is of your REAL interest, and make it a novel. For example: if you like to read about WII, don't just read a book about it, because the book will relate most likely stuff from the war giving figures , dates etc, whereas a novel about the war will mix LIFE. Love, adventure, sensations, feelings etc... a world of descriptions, which is how our mind works... |
