Who knew that the book about an orphan boy who survived the attack of a dark wizard would change the lives of many people around the world? Certainly the author Joanne Rowling did not expect his story about a boy with magical powers could yield as much fame and importance to her and to all fans of the saga, called Potterheads (I am one and proud!)Will be 16 years (26/06) that was for sale the first book of my beloved saga that was launched in the UK, the local publisher called "Bloomsbury". And believe it or not, Harry Potter is loved and commented so far, this is fantastic for me! I believe that Harry Potter is eternal, I never liked much of a saga in life, never liked either reading a book or watching a movie, I hope that Harry Potter can last many, many years yet, and you can be sure, what I can do to help our beloved boy wizard not simply be forgotten, I will!
Harry is a skinny kid with big glasses that discovers wizard, is the fictional hero of seven books that sold more than 450 million (2004 estimate) copies worldwide. The books have been translated into 64 languages and have children and adults throughout the world abandoning their televisions and video games to discover the pleasure of reading Harry Potter.
I only wanted to comment on the Harry Potter books, but can not help but comment on the success of the HP films produced by Warner Bros. The eight Harry Potter films have accumulated more than $ 7 billion in worldwide box office, according to Warner Bros, cementing its place as the highest grossing series in history
.
I, as a potterhead fanatic, was there at the premiere of the last Harry Potter movie, jumping for joy and holding the books of the saga in hand. I can not describe my happiness that day, it was an unforgettable moment, and when the movie ended I started to cry a lot, my favorite saga was over and I did not know what to do, but then I remembered that Harry Potter never ended for fans, Hogwarts will always be there for me when I need it, the only thing I need to do is open the book or watch the movie as many times as I want.

- In 2010, the author J.K.

Why I chose Harry Potter for this job?
I try to answer this question without flooding my room, come on!
My brother, since his 11 years, always enjoyed reading Harry Potter and was a big fan, for an incredible coincidence he bought his first book of HP at this age (11 years), the same age as Harry was in the book and my brother was learning and growing right along with Harry and it was amazing! When he reached his 17/18 years old, was already launched last HP book and he ended the saga that same year, but not satisfied with just the books, he was also the movie premieres and loved everything!
When I turned 11, my brother gave me the Harry Potter books so I start reading too, but at the time I refused, hated reading (worst thing I've ever done in my life) so I ended up not reading. Only at the end of 2011 my brother told me because he loved Harry Potter so much, he told me that the best remedy was to read that saga, no matter what you were feeling, Harry Potter would take you to your home, Hogwarts, and make you forget everything.
I decided to start reading and then I could not stop anymore, I read all the books and soon began to make a collection of Harry Potter. I can not even explain what happened to me after reading this books, just know that I turned potterhead heart and nowadays can not live without HP, is I know it sounds crazy! But this story got me and today, everything I've learned about friendship and love me I will this saga. She made me believe in magic, I could do anything as long as he wanted, taught me to see the world in a different way (say it in a way witch!), an unbelievable way, the same way but totally real to me .
It's hard to say why I chose Harry Potter for that job without using 300,000 sheets, but I chose it because this saga, it may be stupid to some and incredible to others, the saga joined me with my brother who is now 23 years. We always fought, but after I turn potterhead, we stopped fighting and started to watch Harry Potter together and make jokes, I have a lot to thank JK will and Warner Bros. for giving me all this happiness they gave me. Thank you.
