Marianne:

sheer imaginative descriptions and depictions: owl post, the Hogwarts 
Express, moving portraits, Diagon Alley...I could go on, but, yes, 
there is such a wealth of beautifully constructed and descriptive 
pictures of this parallel world.

Me:

I think this point is the main reason I love the books so much. JK 
Rowling's stories seem so real, like they've been around for 
thousands of years. I put off reading them for so long because I 
thought they were just kids books, but now I feel like they've always 
been there. It's like they were immediately imbedded into our 
culture. They just belong, and the fact that so many people around 
the world love them as much as Westerners do says a lot. They are 
truly universal.
