LONDON - Harry Potter fans owe a debt of gratitude to Alice Newton.
Alice was 8 years old when her father, a Bloomsbury Publishing executive, brought home a new manuscript for her to read.
"The excitement in this book made me feel warm inside," she scrawled in a note to her dad. "I think it is probably one of the best books an 8/9 year old could read."
