I would like to mention other (I'm sure great) authors, like J.R.R. Tolkien, Roald Dahl, only I am not qualified since I haven't read their works. Harry Potter series, on the other hand, is the No.1 undisputed contemporary book in the world and have been read by millions of children and adults alike, yours truly included. When I read the books, the wealth of imagination confronts me like sudden ray of lights when you slide open your window in the early morning. Thestrals, Talking Hat, the moving pictures, animagus, Expecto Patronums, Polyjuice Potion, the list goes on (many many other books could be written on these alone)...it's like, "Wow!". Her imagination has no boundaries, she tapped into children's mind and adult's mind, somehow managed to pick things that appeal to both audiences and write a tremendously successful series of books.
She is now one of the wealthiest women in the world.
Wow.
I wish I had that kind of imagination.
Plus business sense.
Book deals + autograph sessions + Harry Potter movies + merchandise + licensing + spun-off books about the magical animals et cetera.
It doesn't stop there! She is now writing TWO new books, one of which will be published later.
I'm gushing too much. Will stop here.
UPDATE: Oh, I haven't read the last book yet. Heard it's good.
