Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Orson Scott

Comment preview: >>There seems to be no sufficient reason for the alteration. Um, pretty sure I can think of one. Because a bunch of kids are a lot more likely to buy something about a sorcerer than about a philosopher? And "ire," - seriously? Titles are changed ac ....


Comment preview: Harry Potter owners are really fucked up people. Not the normal, every day "I have Harry Potters and they're great pets" sort, but the type that congregate in online communities. They're fucking assholes, if you're doing something wrong they want to castra ....


Comment preview: For the whole book, I might go with *Harry Potter and the Methods of Reason*. It conveys more or less the same thing as 'Rationality', and does it in 3 fewer syllables, so it comes off to new readers as less awkward/stilted. There's a reason there are no 5 ....


Comment preview: So, you shouldn't just stop at the Hero's Journey. There is an important difference: Star Wars is a mythological story at its core. A Rebellion, "King Returning" story. But Harry Potter? It isn't about a king. Its about not an orphan teenager, but an orpha ....

Comment preview: To add onto that: Boyhood aims for realism and authenticity and Harry Potter doesn't Boyhood had the same cast and crew over the past 12 years while Harry Potter didn't. The series didn't even have the same director throughout, which is sometimes uncommon ....


Comment preview: I was the one bullshitting my assignment. In a college english class our primary texts were the Harry Potter books and for the final paper we had to write a persuasive essay about something of interest to us. I love harry potter as much as the next guy but ....


Comment preview: >**Gilliam and Harry Potter** >J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, is a fan of Gilliam's work. Consequently, he was Rowling's first choice to direct Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2000. Warner Bros. refused to consider Gill ....


Comment preview: This is a really good question, although I feel like no one is going to respond to it... Funny enough, I would say my happiest memory is just Harry Potter in general! My mom began reading them to me in 1997, when I was 2 years old, so I literally *do not r ....


Comment preview: I dreamed the ending to the Harry Potter series eight years before Deathly Hallows came out. Probably not the exact ending, probably no Horcruxes or anything, but really freaking close. When the third book came out (I was in 3rd grade) my friends and I had ....

Comment preview: Harry Potter isnt really 'YA' as we know it. Its more 'Childrens.' Also Harry Potter predates the huge teen book section. Yeah the later books came out when there was already the middle ground section, but I swear to you that it used to be childrens sectio ....


Comment preview: I am about the same age as Daniel Radcliffe and all the child actors from the movie series. I started reading the books when they were being released and it was the first series I read completely independently. I grew up with the book series and movie seri ....


Comment preview: Man, you just gave me Harry Potter fandom flashbacks. My favorite off-the-wall fan theory is even crazier than that though. There was a fan who put together a timeline of the night Harry Potter's parents died and pointed out that between Hagrid rescuing Ha ....


Comment preview: Imagine if the Harry Potter stories picked up hundreds of years later, Harry's been twisted into this hurt, misanthropic creature by decades of hurt and loss and hurt and loss, an epic circle that will never end for him. He goes into seclusion, maybe goes ....


Comment preview: There is too much information about this, and it's a matter of selecting some. [Here is a list of challenged books.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_challenged_books_in_the_United_States) I'll focus on the Harry Potter series, which is o ....


Comment preview: I don't know if she would write more novels, but she is screenwriting 3 more Harry Potter world set movies. Warner Bros. announced on 12th September 2013 that J.K. Rowling would be making her screenwriting debut with 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find The ....


Comment preview: I don't downvote opinions. I just think that the way she introduced characters, items, objects, etc. early in the books that ended up playing a crucial role much later was pretty cool. As far as the whole emo kid thing, I mean, how old was he at this point ....
