00If I can give you a tip, you have to begin with the first book. It's amazing how fast you can read after the first chapters.02br

0Yes I agree that books in most of the cases are much better then movies, but I didn't have so much time to read in the last years and I don't have it at the moment neither.

0 It depends on your English standard. However, if you're truly interested, don't care about it, just read/watch. In fact, it's a good way of learning English. You can learn loads and loads of words from the books. J.K. Rowling really is a talented writer.
