J`K.Rowling, who is a famous writer in the world, is famous with the
novel--Harry Potter.It is a series novel that attracts numbers of people in the world. As
an author, J.K.Rowling has written fiction since she was a child. Born in 1965, she
grows up in Chepstow and wrote her first "book" at the age of six--a story about a
ribbit called Rabbit. She studied French and Classical at Exeter University, then
moved to Londonto work at Amnesty International, and then to Portugal to teach
Engliash as a foteign language, before settling in Edinburg. The idea for Harry Potter
occured to hei on the train from Manchester to London, where she says Harry Potter
I've just fininshed reading the first 4 Harry Potter books for about the 5th
time through, and they're just as magical and affecting as they have ever been.
Everything is in here: suspense, adventure, mystery, humour, danger. There's
even some pretty satisfying paybacks. The characters are fantastic and
fantastically realistic. There are bad people who turn out to be good guys and
good people who turn out to be bad guys, just like life.
I think the thing I
like best about these books is the message that it's okay to be different - to
be not "normal." I would love for everyone in school to have hear that message.
It would probably reduce the bullying around the school.
These books
value real thoughts. Much has been made of Harry's rule breaking, but only once
in the series so far does he break a rule for arbitrary personal gain. Most of
the time he makes a decision that what's right is more important than what's
written. And you know what? Life's like that sometimes. I think it's great that
kids are getting an example of how to do what's right even when it involves
breaking rules. The Potter books also show that there are consequences for rule
breaking. If not getting caught and getting a detention, then a spell going
wrong and someone getting turned into a cat. This shows that when you make a
decision to go against the rules that things may not go as you expected and you
have to take responsibility for the outcome.
