But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry - and anyone who reads about him - will find unforgettable. For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him. if Harry can survive the encounter." ********************************************************* Joanne Rowling CH OBE FRSL (born 31 July 1965), best known by her pen name J.
