the book is geat it really captures your amagination. So I wonder how JK Rolling was able to write such a trilling adventure of a story I know it says she was inspired by things she saw but still did it just come to her did she add everything together she saw that captured her attention? It would be great to know the answer!
When you read this book it comes to your attention it appears to you as though for a marvalous time that your there and JK Rolling opened this port whole do this new fantasy field adventure!
ITS GREAT FOR ALL AGES!!!!!!
Philippe Roberto

this is i guess the best book for children because it enhances the imagination of children to write and read good books
