My daughter is a big fan of Harry Potter books and as a young child, I still remember how excited she was when she got her first Harry Potter book, followed by the entire series. Later when the movies were made, she watched every Harry Potter movie that was released. The Harry Potter books adorn her bookshelf in Kuwait, amidst a huge collection of books and novels she had during her school days. Though my daughter is now working in England, she has told me 'not to give the Harry Potter books away', which she hold so dear.
