What do you like about this subject?
It's so rare these days to find an author who can get people of all ages to love a book so much, they turn off the TV to read. As far as other books go, I have always loved to read and sharing my opinions with others. I've been getting a lot of questions lately about people looking to find favorite books from their past. I'm not very good at that.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
It would be my ultimate dream to meet J.K. Rowling! Is that every fan's dream? ;)
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
The Harry Potter books topped the The New York Times Bestsellers List for so long, they created a Children's Bestsellers List because the other authors were upset that the Harry Potter books were keeping them off the list.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
In the Harry Potter series, people have issues about the suggestions to (and now use of) foul language and Dark Magic in the series. I have very strong opinions on this topic and could go on for hours.
