About NYC (2009):"I probably wouldn't have gone to New York so young if it weren't for the films. I was 11, and I remember it distinctly because it was just after 9/11. I was at ground zero, looking at this gallery that had messages and drawings all over the walls. I remember one of the producers gave this great speech while we were there, saying that maybe the reason Harry Potter was so successful, particularly then, was because people really wanted to be uplifted or taken to another place."

Charles's Inspiration Story


I suppose it's wise to start at the beginning, right. Well, I saw Emma Watson on "The Sorcerer's Stone" and instantly fell in love with her wit and personality.

It inspired me to write a story about a wizard, based on her image as Hermione. I call the series Princess Luanne and Wizard Heatheria. (See if you can guess who Emma would be.)

Anyway, Heatheria is an orphaned twelve-year-old with a magical lineage, and she makes friends with twenty-one-year-old... yep, you guessed it, Princess Luanne. They become a force for good as teacher and apprentice in the arts of magic and would do anything to help each other, even if it costs them their lives.

I owe everything to Emma, and I hope that when you read this story, you'll think so, too.
