RAVING
One small change can have far-reaching effects, altering a whole series of events, just as it is often said that a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the world can cause a hurricane on the other.
In Lucinda Senestrave’s series, Magical Relations, this concept is explored in the life story of the famous Harry Potter, posing a single question:
What if Harry Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley was magical too?
The fictional series follows Mr. Potter over the years in Hogwarts, and it’s currently in the midst of chronicling his fifth year. As with the history of Harry Potter that we know, the tone starts light, but becomes darker as he goes further into histroubling journey. There are enough significant changes from the Mr. Potter of reality to maintain suspense and enough similarities to our history to tie it to the well-known locations and characters.
While Harry is placed in an increasingly different environment throughout the years, Dudley too is taken out of his comfort zone, and his growth is just as fascinating as that of Mr. Potter. The Magical Relations series excels at breathing life into the people we’ve relegated to the
sidelines of history, and shows us a different side to the world we know so well.
If you’re looking to read something with a gripping plot and a fresh new take on a familiar story, look no further than Magical Relations!
