- 10 Fictional Places We’d Love To VisitArticle
For many people, the Harry Potter series was their introduction to the world of reading. And for those of us who grew up with Harry, Hogwarts will always hold a special place in our hearts. It would be amazing to be able to visit the school where he spent so much of his childhood.

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. It’s the most interesting world created by an author that I’ve ever seen, and wouldn’t it be just amazing to fly and have a magic wand?

For years, my favorite book was The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. I’d never read a book where I was reading about another kid reading a book. It was thrilling, and so much better than the movie. Then Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling came along, and that became my new favorite.

Harry Potter by J.K Rowling. The world that JK Rowling has created makes you wait patiently for your own owl bearing an invitation to the world of magic, mystery and adventure.

I’m a chronic re-reader. My two biggest rereads are Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. They’re like comfort food to me. Even though I know what happens (I could probably recite them line for line at this point), disappearing into them feels like coming home and seeing all of…

25 Years old – Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. Everyone needs to read/reread this series. These books give you an amazing experience and take you on a great trip, away from reality.

I am the biggest fan of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, so of course, I have to say I’d want to live in that world, attend Hogwarts (I’m a Slytherin by the way) and experience the magical world JK Rowling created.

I feel like Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling holds quite a few good lessons for today’s day and age. And the current generation.

It’s going to sound trite, I know, but I grew up with Harry Potter by J.K Rowling in the most literal sense. I was 11 when the first book came out, and got to spend my teen years growing with those books.

That’s sort of the twist, though, isn’t it? Because what we really want to encourage young people to do is read widely and voraciously. The book that started us off as voracious readers were those by Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary, and Roald Dahl. Those same authors are inspiring kids today. But with our own children, the…

I tend to read a number of books at once, and these are connected to what I am writing and teaching, so I am reading Stephen King’s Misery; Wifedom by Anna Funder; re-reading Lolita, Harry Potter, Catcher in the Rye.

Non-fiction, I’m such a geeky scientist that I love books built on research. However, I always make a little room for book series like Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, etc.
- John L. MonkInterview
Harry Potter – I associate this strongly with my wife, because I got her to read those books. She said she never would have if we weren’t dating, because she’s naturally adverse to hype, and those books were hyped a mile high (deservedly so, it turns out).
