pickThis Modern High fantasy book is one of my favorite and the Harry Potter series. Showing us a young Voldemort was a stroke of Genius. I love how there is a comparison between Harry and Voldemort. It really goes to show that there is very little difference between the forces of Good and Evil besides one's personal choice.
