Tell Your Harry Story
Since Harry Potter was published in 1997, the books have been a part of our lives – the happy times and the sad times. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone marked the beginning. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows marks the end. What did you do in between?I’m torn. I thought that going down to the bookstore at midnight would be fun and something my fellow Potter-crazy friends and I could do together.
But now… Now, I’m paranoid.
Paranoid that someone is going to not respect my desire to conclude the story in my own way: with my own eyes and imagination. Paranoid that someone is going to yell out the ending because some jerkface somewhere decided to leak Book 7 online.
It was a warm summer day in 1998 when I read my first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I was working as an intern in the catalogue department at Raincoast Books. We were struggling to get a more prominent display in our Spring catalogue for the 3 Harry Potter books.
