"I do recall crying at the end of the last Harry Potter book too, as it marked the end of an era for me. Like four billion other children, I loved the Harry Potter series. I’ll go to my grave praising J. K. Rowling for giving my generation a childhood and teaching the world to believe in magic again."

"I've read the Harry Potter books many times; listened to the audiobooks; watched the movies. The genius of Rowling's creation astonishes me — the extraordinary world she's made, so packed with memorable characters, situations, devices, spells, slang and institutions."
