Happy Birthday, Harry Potter and JK Rowling!!

July 31 is known all over the world as Harry Potter day, owing to the fact that it is, in fact, the birthday of "The Boy Who Lived", as well as that of his creator, JK Rowling. And this is the 20th anniversary of the first book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". TV stations across the country air all the movies back to back, but why not have your own Harry Potter marathon, by reading the series from the start?
