history: I like reading. Harry Potter is one of my favorites Ah, cool. Did you know they were written by J. K. Rowling? Yes, it's such a long, intricate story. I'm blown away by her accomplishment. Her books  won multiple awards, and sold more than 400 million copies. That's astounding! They've also gained a wide adult audience, in addition to the younger readers. I read it when I was young, and again as an adult. I enjoyed it both times! Nice! Over half a billion copies of the books have been sold, and they've even been translated to 73 languages. I think it's the most re-readable series I've ever read
