My son (who graduates from high school this year) has had summer reading assignments all through high school. They receive a choice in the spring, choose a book, and turn in a report the first week of school.
My daughter, a freshman this year, did not get a book because her class missed all the ninth grade orientations when the schools closed in March.
When I was in school, we did not have summer reading assignments. The only time was for incoming 12th grade AP English students, and I chose to not take AP English that year, so I never had to do one.
I don't have an opinion on whether or not Harry Potter will be or is a classic; I feel like that is something that is determined much later, when it is no longer considered a contemporary piece of work.
