Go On … Read It!
If you’ve not read the Harry Potter series, I encourage you to do so.
Rachel loaned me the first book about three years ago and I just did NOT want to read it. So I didn’t. Then, when she and Joe moved here, they would tell me things about the books and the story and how good it was so, eventually, I conceded to at least give it a shot.
What a pleasant surprise! I found myself getting sucked into the fairy tale like story with the very first book. I am now on book six. I have one more after this and I have to say, I’m a little disappointed that it’s going to end.
It’s the type of story you can get lost in and reacquaint yourself with the child inside you that somehow gets buried as you grow older. As the books progress it’s obvious that they’re not just children’s books. It’s a very smart and complex story of a young wizard, his trials and adventures with his friends and foes, as he tries to figure out what his purpose in life is.
J.K Rowlings is brilliant! I hope she continues to write.
