Welcome to Hogwarts!

As an uninterested, unwilling, and uncaring individual when it comes to reading books, I can come to say that I have read a series of books by one particular author who I admire, that kept my attention, and taught me the meaning of reading. Her name is J. K. Rowling, a well-known author of my generation.

When I was younger, I despised all books, whether it was “required” in school or if a friend recommended it (I never would read the recommended ones, even if my friends said it was a killer book); I refused to read any book, period! Reading was never one of my favorite activities to do as a kid; never really felt the need to pick up a book. To me, books were boring and a waste of precious time, time that I could be using talking to boys or hanging out with friends, but as time flew by, I finally got hooked on one series of books in particular, the Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling. I kept on reading and reading. I could read one whole book in one day if I wanted too, if my eyes did not get tired or the fact that I needed food and hygiene. I loved the Harry Potter book series because it was magical, interesting, and intriguing to read, something different. Ever since then, I read all the Harry Potter books and attended all the movie premieres based on the novels by J. K. Rowling.

J. K. Rowling’s books are intriguing and exhilarating, along with her writing style. People ought to get to know the author behind the book, and that is what I plan on doing with this blog. I hope to give the outsiders (readers) a brief insider (bibliography) about J. K. Rowling, her writing style, and her reasoning behind the enchanting Harry Potter series. J. K. Rowling brought Harry Potter into this world, along with a new aspect of literature. Welcome to Hogwarts! Enjoy!
