EXCERPTS
J K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, says that she first thought of her
character Harry Potter as…‘scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn’t know
he was a wizard…’. Her next step was to make Harry Potter human—an orphan
boy who does not know he is a wizard; who faces problems with examinations,
friendships and the evil in the world, and one who has to gather strength and courage
to survive.
A human being becomes a person when he/she is more than what he/she
looks like.
