How did Harry Potter become such a phenomenon? I never had much exposure to Harry Potter until the past two weekends. A long while back I had seen the first movie. Last weekend I saw the second and most of the third. This weekend I saw the 4th and the newest one in theatres. I have yet to read any of the books and now I want to. It’s so creative. Of course everyone says that books are always better than the movies, but just by watching the movies I was fascinated by the creativity displayed.

How does a book become such a huge hit that people are completely absorbed as each new book and movie comes out? What makes things lift off? Its interesting. How does the author feel as she starts writing and has the first book published, not knowing how it will do, but then realizing that the growth is magnificent and much bigger than anticipated?

It’s crazy when you stop to think about it.

I am eager to read the books and will do so very soon.
