I only discovered the "Harry Potter" series in my tenth standard. I dived right into it, often reading non-stop through the day and night. It was the morning after one such readathon when I was to appear for a chemistry exam. Spending my night with the third edition of "Harry Potter" didn't help much, and I fared poorly. ~Sonam Kapoor
