The fall of 1998 came and went for me like any other year. I was just starting middle school in a new town where I didn?t know anyone (with the exception of my sister, Samantha). I was enrolled in difficult honors classes. I was just starting to notice boys and actually caring about what I wore to school. And I was still new to the wonders of The WB and MTV. I had no idea that all across the country, something was happening.
At playgrounds, schools and grocery stores, people were spreading the word and talking about the same thing. They say that word-of-mouth spreads like wild fire, and so it was, that seemingly ordinary fall when the name Harry Potter was passed in excited whispers from one person to another. For on September 1, 1998, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer?s Stone was published in the United States. And the world of pop culture and literature has never been the same.
I love to read. I always have. But I?d never been in love with a book before. I?d never had genuine affection for a fictional character, or touched the worn out and torn cover of a book with such loving fondness. I?d never much cared about when a new book was to be released, let alone obsessively count down the days until it came out. However, that all changed when I first picked up that precious Harry Potter book, which had already been passed from my mother, to my sister, and now to me.
