Why Harry Potter Is Even More Magical for Adults

As a proud Ravenclaw, I have always gotten a thrill from escaping to Hogwarts, a joy that is indescribable when reading about Diagon Alley, a feeling of elation when discovering all of the incredible creatures. For me, they are complete escapism neatly packaged in seven highly descriptive (but easy-going) books and eight beautiful films. I have always loved reading, but JK Rowling’s work speaks to me on another level. There is something comforting yet exciting about this series of books targeted primarily at children.
