You're a Blizzard Harry!
3 Sterne
I recall around the year 2000 is when I first started hearing the hype about this boy who is a wizard book and not thinking to much of it. That was until one day my mother brought the book home and said she was (not in character for her) to read me a little bit each night. This lasted maybe 2 chapter before you gave up and read the rest of the book on her own. So I was quite exited when a year later my 4th grade teacher started reading the book to the class aloud in our down time over the course of a month or so.
Was great to finally get to understand what all this hubbub was about. Well to this day I am still kind of wondering how this book on its own launched such a media power house. Like do not get me wrong …

Like do not get me wrong I do not dislike the story now nor did I then. The characters where okay even if things just kinda work out for Harry through out the book. Though all in all I really just say it in terms as say the movie The Pagemaster (1994). Some dweeby kid goes on a adventure of sorts and you get to come along for the fun ride. Now was the world building better? Yeah sure but not to the amount that garnered the hype it brought.
So either way I have always chalked this Books popularity to being right place at the right time conning a bunch of people who never read to actually read a book. Very middle of the road story.
