The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the
modern era. With seven books and many blockbuster films to its name, the series has amassed
about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did this phenomenon become what it is? For those scratching
their heads, the reason can be broken down into several areas: Rowling garnered a generous initial
contract for her book, separate book covers were created for both teens and adults, midnight
releases/promotions/pre-orders made the public more fanatic about the series, and fan blogs were
rampant. In fact, these are just a few of the main reasons why the Harry Potter took off the way it
did.

The Harry Potter series is popular due to several reason, EXCEPT...

a. There was a huge initial contract for J.K. Rowling’s book.

b. Little to no promotion whatsoever.
c. Teens and adults market got different book cover.
d. So many fan blogs keeping the hype alive.
e. Midnight releases and pre-orders creates hypes.

How are you? Thanks so much for your last letter. It was great to hear from you and catch up on all
your news. It sounds like you have a really interesting lifestyle! It’s brilliant! We don’t live near the
mountains so I’ve never been rock climbing but I’d love to try it.

I reckon I have a healthy lifestyle too. I sleep for about eight hours every night and eat loads of fruit
and vegetables. I like doing exercise. I enjoy all types of sport, but I’m really good at basketball. My
best mate and I are in the school team. Last month, I decided to do something different. I did a
snorkelling course at our local swimming pool . It was a laugh! I met a lot of really nice kids.

Why don’t you come here in the holidays? It would be great to get together! Hope to see you soon!
