Harry, A History

Więcej o książce

During a decade, millions of ordinary people became the sole bearers of memories from the unfinished Harry Potter saga. They sought connections through friends, families, online forums, fan fiction, and podcasts to bridge the gaps between novels. The stakes were high, with character deaths generating more buzz than major sporting events, as the story of a boy wizard transformed reading forever. As the webmistress of the Leaky Cauldron, one of the most popular Harry Potter sites, Melissa Anelli experienced this whirlwind firsthand. She played a crucial role in helping Scholastic combat leaks and counterfeiters, hosted live PotterCasts at bookstores nationwide, toured with the wizard rock band Harry and the Potters, and even interviewed J.K. Rowling in Edinburgh. The Harry Potter series transcended mere sales records, reigniting a global sense of wonder and taking on a life of its own. Although the series has concluded, the narrative continues. With insights from Rowling's editors, agents, publicists, fans, and Rowling herself, Anelli embarks on a personal journey exploring every facet of the Harry Potter phenomenon—from its inception to its enduring influence on how we live and dream.
