“I have just returned from my great train journey to Scotland so Harry Potter has been read! I just loved the book, it is full of pace and interest and so very funny… There is something about Harry Potter that reminds me of Charlie Buckett in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the put upon nice guy making good… And please may I have a finished copy, I would like to tell lots of people about it.” – Fiona Waters, to Bloomsbury Children’s Marketing
