More Thoughts On Mr. Potter

Mon., July 31, 2000

What could possibly be more fun than a hippogriff named Buckbeak, a mangy cat named Crookshanks, and the Marauder’s Map from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban?”

Why, the Quidditch World Cup, a Triwizard Tournament, a house-elf named Winky, a Hungarian Horntail dragon, and a strange professor nicknamed Mad-Eye Moody, all of whom debut in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”

In my opinion, J.K. Rowling’s fourth book is the best of the Harry Potter series. It has everything the other books have times two due to its whopping 734 pages. Rowling writes with typical British wit, making it an enjoyable book for readers young and old.

Harry Potter may not seem like your cup of tea but give it a chance. You’ll never know until you read it.
