Philosopher’s Stone
How do you make reading-shy children palatable to good reading? Experts have been pondering this for decades. The author Joanne K. Rowling found the philosopher’s stone in this question: Enchanted, those girls and boys suddenly devoured the Brit’s Harry Potter books; feverishly from one publication to the next and developed reading skills along the way.
Always one side he and one side me: This is how I experienced this time, evening after evening with our son. And I was also seized with the desire to immerse myself in the colorful fantasy world of Hogwarts. To inspire children and adults alike – whoever succeeds in this is a true magician.
Disenchanted
It’s 1997, and like most of the fiction-loving world, I’m thrown into the book adventure about this wizard’s apprentice named Harry Potter. I can’t remember what happened to my copy at the time, but I can still remember that I was bored and put it down after almost 100 pages. Not for me, this world-spanning series of books! I have sympathy for anyone who reads them and great admiration for JK Rowling. I’m just the down-to-earth romantic, the realist, who is always fascinated by well-made films or books that are based on comprehensible, i.e. “true events”.
And what’s your opinion on that?
