I watched the wonderful HP effect on my own children – turning their backs on TV in order to pick up where they’d left off with the tale – and with my niece, whose nose was so consistently in the latest of the stories when she was young that we couldn’t believe her diagnosis with dyslexia at 15! Rowling’s genius is that the world that she created with her pen was so compelling for children that it got even those who found reading difficult to pick up the books and then not put them down. And it’s not through marketing hype that all of this has been achieved.
“It would be a complete injustice not to have at least one of the seven Harry Potter books on this list as the series of stories relaying the adventures of Harry, Ron, Hermione and their wizarding friends have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide and been translated into some 80 languages, as well as spawning eight blockbuster movies, endless collectible merchandise and visitor attractions.
