Our favourite movie …
Harry Potter is a
British-American film
series based on the
eponymous novels by
author J. K. Rowling.
Late in 1997, film
producer David
Heyman's London
offices received a copy of
the first book in what
would become Rowling's
series of seven Harry
Potter novels. The book,
Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone, was
relegated to a low-
priority bookshelf, where
it was discovered by a
secretary who read it
and gave it to Heyman
with a positive review.
