At the end of the first chapter, I was called for dinner and I couldn’t wait to go back to read it. THAT…. That was the day, the magical day, where it all began. It’s like I entered Diagon Alley with Harry & didn’t come back. That craze, that love, that excitement of every new book and movie… Those r
