We just read the first Harry Potter; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. We showed the movie as well, for a treat and to discuss the differences. Harry Potter first came out in June of 1997, and the popularity has not decreased at all. I decided to read the book in honor of the new play coming out in London, and the book of the play being released this weekend on July 31. July 31 is of course Harry Potter's birthday, and if you did not know, is JK Rowling's birthday as well. I believe this was my fifth time reading the book; I have listened to it twice, and read the physical book three times, and it has not last it's magic for me at all. "The boy who lived" is someone you root for from the very beginning, his friends, your friends, and his enemies, definitely your enemies. Who would not want to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy? JK Rowling's rags to riches story is impressive as well, it is wonderful when a woman overcomes all odds and makes a huge success of herself. Here is an interview with JK Rowling on Harry Potter:
