An ambitious undertaking for any author to attempt to say nothing of a previously-unpublished writer. It'll be interestingg where her follow-ups go; back to the young reader market or straight adult.
Was this the original design of the author or more an issue with the fact that the actor playing Harry is ageing by one year every year?
