| | |  The man who threw away a first edition Potter
The Telegraph has an amusing article in which the writer, Nigel Reynolds, recalls the memory of being the first journalist to ever interview J.K.Rowling. Quote:
A year later I took my nine-year-old son, Tom, armed with his battered paperback of The Philosopher's Stone, to hear J K read at the Edinburgh Book Festival. Afterwards, I introduced them. She was warmth itself and asked Tom if Harry Potter was his favourite read.
"No," he said as I blushed. "Goosebumps [by RL Strine] is." We still have the copy in which she inscribed: "Thanks for liking it and I don't mind about Goosebumps. Honest."

Thanks for that! What an awesome article. The lesson here is always get books signed by the author when you meet them  | |

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
