Harry, a History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon by Melissa Anelli

5.0

Reading Melissa Anelli's journey from HP novice to HP goddess, becoming the chief editor at the Leaky Cauldron fan website (along with Mugglenet, one of J.K. Rowling's favorites) is like reliving some of the magic of my own Harry Potter journey. (It also reminded me I have a copy of 'Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!' by Harry and the Potters around here somewhere. Wizard rock!) She actually met Ms. Rowling several times and became involved in the fanfare to such a degree that Anelli herself became a fan fiction character. It's a bit surreal, but then again, isn't everything Hogwarts-related? I think my very favorite part was J.K. Rowling's revelation that George Weasley did, in fact, marry Angelina. I said when I read 'Goblet of Fire' that Fred would marry her and they'd have tons of red-headed Weasley children. After I read the final book, I'd hoped George and Angelina would somehow end up together - this confirms it! Long live the Weasleys - yay!
