  I was a reader, and thus HP was a part of my landscape, not the other way around.

  I was already reading Animorphs and Goosebumps for years when Harry Potter came out. And so were a lot of kids my age. Those were nationwide phenomena in their own right.

  I guess if HP created a generation of readers then Windows created a generation of Solitaire players.......

  I literally read the Lord of the Rings with my mom in grade school before Harry Potter. Even then, I wouldn’t credit Tolkien with making me a reader—I credit my mom for that

  I was NOT ready for the horrifying realization that the frustrated mantra of &quot;read another book&quot; has actual statistics to back it up. Dear god.

  Tara Gilesbie could write Harry Potter but Joanne Kentucky Rowling could never write My Immortal
