Harry A History by Melissa Anelli

If your not tired of Harry Potter, I read this book a while back. It is written by the lady who runs The Leaky Cauldron one of the really popular Harry Potter websites.
Anyway, it gives a lot of fun background insight into the series and its fans. The author interviewed lots of people including Jo Rowling, several times. She even has a chapter where she interviewed the lady who was going through a bunch of court cases to get the books banned from the school library.
It's a fun read. You will relate to some of the memories of excitement for the books, midnight parties and such. It really is from the fans perspective.

Side note: I couldn't be happier about the response to this blog. It is so fun to hear from all of you. I think I must be the most blessed person on the planet. I have family who I consider my best friends and friends that I consider like family. Big hugs from Spokane Washington.

That would be cool. I need to actually make everybody administrators on the blog so that people can add pictures and background and things.
