Post-reading
U, K. Rowling’s Harry Poier and the Chamber of Secrets was published in July 1998.
Americans and British people both speak English. But there are a lot of differences in the ways
they speak it. For American kids, some changes were made in the Harry Potter books including Scotch tape for Sellotape, Parking lot for car park, and bag of chips for packet of crisps. This kind of change is made in many US books that were first published in the United Kingdom.
In October 1998, J, K, Rowling travelled to the United States for the first time for a ten-day book tour, At first, J K. Rowling was worried that American children wouldn’t like her book as much as children in the United Kingdom did, But she was wrong. "When I did public readings. she told The Scotsman newspaper.” they even all laughed in the same places as British youngsters.”
J K. Rowling was surprised that many of the children she met had already read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The book wasn’t even published in the United States yet. They had ordered the book from England on the Internet because they couldn't wait.
J K. Rowling was more successful than she had ever dreamed-but things were just getting started. In the publishing world, no children’s books had ever been as popular as the Harry Potter books. Each book landed on the New York Times best-seller list and stayed there for so long. Even popular children’s book writers like Dr.Seuss, R. L, Stine, and C. S. Lewis did not sell as many books.
By the time she returned to the United States to promote her third book Harry Potter and tie Prisoner of Azkaban, J K. Rowling was met by, not just children，but crowds of adults（成人）． Why were so many adults reading a book written for children Tt's because a really good story attracts people of all ages.
