Another worth mentioning fact is that the book had a foreword by J.K. Rowling!
"I had already heard of 'The Leaky Cauldron'; it was one of the biggest and most popular Harry Potter sites on the net, and I had been told about a couple of great things they had done....But I had never seen it for myself, never realised exactly what went on there. I sat and read editorials, predictions, theories that ranged from strange to wild to perfectly accurate. I was, frankly, stunned
- and I remain stunned."
Rowling also brought recognition to Melissa by saying how she had filled in "an enormous number of blanks"
"At long last I understand what was going on while I was holed up writing, trying to filter my exposure to Potter-hysteria...a great chunk of my own life has been explained to me. Melissa has filled in an enormous number of blanks. Reading the book you now have in your hands has been an astonishing experience for me. It is as though I have, at last, achieved the ambition I held for years: To go along to a bookshop at midnight on Harry Potter publication night, in disguise, and simply watch and listen."
Having read the first few chapters of the book, I can only say that Anelli not only has Rowling's touch in her pen but she definitely managed to hook me to the book.
You can order the book from Amazon or maybe get one at your local bookstore. Below are amazon links:
