She hasnЃft finished writing yet, but I am going to introduce the first one, which is called ЃgHarry Potter and the PhilosopherЃfs StoneЃh.

First of all, this book is fiction. The story is stated in the real world, contemporary in England, but the magic is described in this book, so there are wizards, witches, and many kinds of creatures. Of course, there are normal humans too, but they are called Muggles who donЃft have magic power, so they donЃft show up so much.
