Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

Best? I think that's a bit of a stretch. Just because it sold the most copies doesn't mean it qualifies for the "best" book. Perhaps it's the "best" selling but best written? Best story? Of the 200,000 books that are published each year, for some reason I think there's probably a book or two that would be better qualified for the "best" title even though their numbers weren't as high. Numbers and it being the "best book out there don't necessarily hold a correlation.

Twilight and The Children of Húrin? Hmm, so it defo had competition. But, you know, I'd rather label it the best selling, not the best book. Not that I don't love HP or anything. It's just that there are better books out there, too.
