No days, perhaps, of all our childhood are ever so fully lived are those that we had regarded as not being lived at all: days spent wholly with a favourite book.

About This Quote

In this quote, J.K. Rowling talks about the power of a child’s imagination. If a child is reading a favorite book, it is as if they are living a day in that world with the characters. Every word and every detail is real to them and makes their world far more exciting than reality can ever be. When a child is looking at a favorite book, it is as if they are living that day again and again.
