This week I will be discussing the news that J. K. Rowling will be auctioning off an 800-page prequel to the Harry Potter series for charity. The Harry Potter series of books are enormously famous, with the last of the series coming out less than a year ago. It seems that Rowling has more to say than the earlier 7 books have introduced, because she is writing again. Although she will reportedly only auction off the one copy, I personally hope that the buyer will eventually share the story with the rest of us.
These books are not only well-written, they also embody characteristics that most of the population can sympathize with. All the characters have weaknesses and this seems to make them seem more human. They also have the fantasy aspect to them and that seems to draw people in as well. This is why these books are such a hit with children and adult readers alike. I think that this is a great show of character for Rowling to donate such a great gift to charity.
