| Fantasy and magic have always been part of children's stories since Arthur pulled the sword out of the stone and fairy godmothers granted wishes. But two years ago a phenomenen entered the childrens literature cannon, J.K. Rowlings created Harry Potter and fantasy and publishing will never be the same.
A put upon orphan finds that he is the savior of the English witches in the fight against the Dark Lord Voldemort. With this plot, the to-be-seven-book cycle begins.
All Harry Potter books are published by Scholastic Press. Hard Cover books are $19.95 except for the whopping 734 page Goblet of Fire (book #4) which costs 25.95 (that's a lot of book for your buck!). Paperback copies are a mere $6.99. The audio version (Random House) is available too and ranges in price from $33.00 - $39.95 (wonder which one could be $39.95?). |
