That's an easy one - Harry Potter! This is not because the series was successful and became a movie series, but because I grew up on the side of a mountain believing in fairies and pretending my stick was a magic wand. Before Harry Potter came out, I was reading about dragons and watching Fern Gully on re-run. My friend and I wrote our first book together at the age 8 and we started writing plays about making witch brews and casting spells.
