It was through the persistence of a friend that I came to read Harry Potter. I considered myself an avid reader and had no time to read "some children's book". To my delight, my friend pressed on and I grew to absolutely adore the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Harry, for me, represents the eternal dream of the ordinary boy lifted to the extraordinary. It's a delight and a rare find in today's world.
