Over the past decade, the magic of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series has spread across the globe, touching the imagination of hundreds of millions of people of all ages. From the 1997 U.K. publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone through the summer 2007 theatrical release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the saga has been an amazing one in print, on screen, and in real life. The Making of the Potterverse: A Month - by - Month Look at Harry's First 10 Years is the complete chronicle of Harry's history, from the moment that Rowling conceived the character on a train ride, to the Pottermania that has followed the publication of each novel and release of each film adaptation. Broken down month - by - month and year - by - year, this one - of - a - kind book covers all of the major and minor news events centering on the world of Harry Potter, interweaving quotes from the films' cast and crew members - among them, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint; directors Chris Columbus (The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets), Alfonso Cuaron (The Prisoner of Azkaban), and Mike Newell (The Goblet of Fire); producer David Heyman and behind - the - scenes personnel who bring the magic to life.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

On 28 July 1914, the Great War began, and all out war spread across Europe like a cancer. 70 million people were pressed into military service, over the course of four years of fighting. The United States, torn politically, declared neutrality. Many citizens and leaders were Irish or German and insisted that the United States not become involved. There were, however, men and women who disagreed with this policy and crossed the border into Canada to join the Canadian Army to go to France and fight for England. When Bill learned his big brother had done just that, he chased him north to bring him home.
