Honestly that was the first thought that crossed my mind when I first saw it. but I was also delighted coz my biggest complaint with good storybooks is that they end too soon. I even found atlas shrugged by aynrand too slim. I guess I am abnormal or something. anyways the book has been very meticulously written with a lot of attention to detail. u can almost picture the story coming to life and the quidditch international match coming to a stadium near you like world cups.
mind u the book is long. those of u who r faint hearted bout thick books shud also go in for this as it is really simple and engrossing. I am waiting for the moovie to be made for this. I think that the fat headmistress from the other school can be played very well by jennifer coolidge (remember stifler’s mom in american pie or ’’paula the beautician in Legally Blone ’’?) I am just waiting for j.k.rowling to come out with the ’’harry potter and the hand of the sphinx’’ which is supposedly the 5th book in the harry potter series.
