When you read the Harry Potter series you never imagine that they could be real; that those events could be happening to real teenagers. You'd be right to tell yourself that wizards, witches and magic schools do not exist to put your childrens and your own fears at rest. That there was never a dark lord who had the power to kill someone with a simple wave of a stick and a few words... but you'd be wrong.
When I heard that Harry had met with an Author to discuss turning his journals into an autobiography of sorts I was quiet surprised. The book was and still is very popular amongst the wizard realm but what surprised me more was when the author took the book out into muggle world, in that area it was not an autobiography it was simply another fantasy book to amuse the minds of teenagers.
There were a few things that I was disappointed about when the book hit muggle shelves, I know that certain things do not appeal to them and so before the book was released it had a bit of tweaking done...I was very upset to learn that one of the most important characters had been removed, for the muggle editors did not like the conflict between the two, claiming that two victims instead of one made less sense and would be far less realistic.
This was a preposterous idea but still Harry went along with it.
Whether you chose to believe me or not is beyond my power to control but there was not just the boy-who-lived in those situations and I doubt that in real life he would've gotten by with just himself. Behind his rash actions and golden reputation was a sister, older by mere minutes and differing in looks slightly.
Her name was Riley.
Riley Lilyan Potter, twin of Harry and except for her glasses an identical replica of their mother.
I was very angry with my brother for quiet a few reasons when the book was released and not all of them concerning my lack of appearance in it, but I guess to tell you them would be like skipping my whole school life.
Instead maybe you should just read it; here you will find the life of Harry Potter as you have never heard it told before, naturally since it is my point of view there will be many things that you miss out on but assuming that you have read those books or seen those movies you should be able to fill in the gaps for yourself.
