With the amazing success of the Harry Potter series, interest in the author Joanne Kathleen (JK) Rowling has reached an unparalleled level. Harry Potter is loved throughout the world and so is his creator. She is a true wizard, a woman who has the ability to recall vividly her days as a child and capture those wild, wonderful and difficult times – an ability that helps make her creation, Harry Potter seem so real. This is a wonderful chance for adults and children to enjoy a heartwarming magical story.
