Beijing Review
COVER STORY The Harry Potter phenomenon has swept China creating a horde of young Hogwarts fans. The books have helped to spur a rise in reading among China's youth and have inspired Chinese writers as young as nine to pen their own books, some of which have become hits themselves. And the fantasy novels by British writer J.K.Rowling , about a young wizard and his band of friends, have opened the eyes of many of China's youth to the idea that reading can be for fun, not just learning. Unfortunately, amid the pressure and competition of the country's education and job markets, this has been forgotten by many teachers and parents, something that is a hot topic in Chinese media around this year's International Children's Day.
