The Sergeant Majorette says
I don't know the musical, but that book was Harry Potter for me when
I was little, and there is a heartwrenching part in it about how the
father can't bear to see his wife's eyes in his son's sickly little
face. I wonder if Frances Hodgson Burnett was a minor influence to
JKR as the moral and psychological intrepidity of the children in
both authors' works are similar.
