Lúa's favourite book

Lúa loves Harry Potter Series. Harry Potter Book Series were written by the British author J. K. Rowling. The first Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was finished in 1995. It is funny though that, before being the best-selling book series in history, it was rejected to be published by twelve different publisher houses. Fortunately, the editor Barry Cunningham from Bloomsbury, a publishing house in London, decided to publish the first novel after, Alice Newton, the 8 year-old daughter of Bloomsbury's chairman had read the first chapter and immediately demanded the next one.
