Of reading, prequels and Quidditch lessons!

We're not sure if we've actually ever told you, but yes, we are avid, voracious readers. The feeling derived from leafing through those books - especially if they're the old ones, with that musty kind of smell - is hardly comparable. (We enjoy doing other things too, lest you think we're them bookworm-arm-chaired critics type!)

Anyhow, my student (Keith here) passed on to me something that really hooked my attention. And it'll be a good read for anyone who's enjoyed (grown up with!) JK Rowling's masterpieces. 

It's a prequel the author started...and concluded. Have you ever come across it? We hadn't! And for those who haven't, well, we're sharing it with you here:

Here's a snippet:




And if it's Albus Dumbledore addressing us, then we're in for it. You know what we'll be doing on this chilly evening ...cuppa, duvet & The Book! 

Enjoy your evening!
