Indeed, battling Jacob’s disease has been a family affair. During the week, Joanne, who works at Regine Printing in Pawtucket, and Edward, who was temporarily unemployed when the company he worked for moved to Cleveland, took turns standing watch at the hospital at nights and during weekdays; while Brian, whose health insurance was paying the bulk of the nearly $1 million that the treatments were costing, and Michelle, who was then nearing completion on her doctorate in English at the University of Rhode Island, took over the weekends. When the family realized that one of the operations fell on the same date as the opening of the new Harry Potter movie, which Jacob wanted to see, the five resolved the dilemma by going to a special midnight show, just a few hours before Jacob was slated to report to the hospital.

In the era of high-speed Internet and digital DVD, Rowling’s tale of the teen student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was again THE biggest thing for kids. The hoopla over its arrival even exceeded the pomp that accompanied the last book, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” in 2000.
