Thanks for the enlightening, Tina. I've never had the urge to read
Rowling's works, but am impressed by what she has created in the way of
a business endeavor. I did not look closely at this one, and did not
realize she did not write it.

The amazing thing about the Harry Potter books is that they start out at a
younger reader's level and gradually increase through the books to high
school level and above. I am extremely impressed. J.K. Rowling really
increased the interest in books for my grandkids and their friends, and
they are kids who were raised around books from birth! It is no longer
seen as "nerdy" to be reading a book!
The Cursed Child is not my favorite but it's not by J.K. Rowling either!

Rowling did us a tremendous favour in writing the Harry Potter books
as they got children interested in reading instead of being entirely
focused on mind-numbing video games. Both books and radio are instrumental
in stirring the imagination as you have to mentally visualise the images.
My 11-yr old gr-grandson received a variety of gifts for his birthday,
>from a fishing rod to electronic gadgets, but I was glad to see some
literary gifts as well.
