Les Galeries Lafayette de la capitale se pareront des couleurs d’Harry Potter et des Animaux Fantastiques du 7 novembre au 7 janvier prochain.

Elle-même mère célibataire alors qu’elle écrivait les quatre premiers tomes d’Harry Potter, JK Rowling se montre toujours sensible sur le sujet. Et le destin d’un père, sans abri, élevant une enfant, avec pour projet de devenir écrivain, ne pouvait que l’émouvoir.

In 2018, Nielsen says 24-to-34-year-olds bought for themselves or received 12% of all the children’s fiction purchased, double the 6% recorded in 2014. Readers aged 17 to 24 were, however, the largest group of adults who bought children’s fiction for themselves, accounting for one in every eight purchases, compared to 10% five years ago. In total, a third of all children’s fiction purchased last year was by adults to read themselves.

“I think a lot of people have been, secretly perhaps, reading and loving children’s books in adulthood for a long time,” says Rundell. She wrote her book to warn adults who don’t: “You are missing a wealth of treasures.. To miss out on something so rich, strange, varied and enticing in adulthood, just out of embarrassment or perhaps because it hasn’t occurred to you, seems such a waste. There is such joy to be had.”
