One of those details most fans were mad about was that Peeves didn’t make it into the movies. Peeves is a mischievous poltergeist that caused trouble for Harry and his…

from ear to ear. She had chosen the first book that we would read together. She opened the book immediately and began to read aloud in the most obnoxious British accent I had ever heard.

Professor McGonagall, one of my favorites, taught me to not let what other people say affect me. Although she was indirectly saying that to Harry, I felt that she was talking to me and was…

down their noses at anyone who says they were sorted into the Slytherin House. It’s a common misconception that those who are sorted into Slytherin have an overall dark nature about them.

carrying the first volume of Harry Potter with me everywhere I went, I was anxious and excited to finish the novel. At first, I had no intention or desire to read Harry Potter; on the contrary, the week before my dad handed me his copy of the first book, I had told a friend that it was “stupid” and not worth my time. I begrudgingly started reading at my dad’s request, soon marveling at the incredible world contained between the pages in my hands. Reading Harry Potter flipped a switch for me and…
