Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II

by J. K. Rowling, John Tiffany, Jack Thorne

Overview

The experienced public speaker acquires through long practise hundreds of phrases which he uses over and over again. These are essential to readiness of speech, since they serve to hold his thought well together and enable him to speak fluently even upon short notice.
This book is one of practise, not theory. The student should read aloud daily several pages of these phrases, think just what each one means, and whenever possible till out the phrase in his own words. A month's earnest practise of this kind will yield astonishing results.
He should also study the paragraphs, reprinted here from notable speeches, and closely observe the use made of climax and other effects. The phrase and the paragraph are the principal elements in the public speaker's English style, and the student will be amply repaid for any time he devotes to their analysis.

About the Author

In 1994, Rowling was a single mother getting by on welfare benefits who spent her days in cafés writing what would eventually become Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Now she's known as the internationally bestselling author of the Harry Potter series, which was adapted into one of Hollywood's biggest franchises, and a member of the Order of the British Empire. In 2012, she published The Casual Vacancy, a biting story of class and politics in a suburban English town, under the pen name of Robert Galbraith. She's since written three more novels under the pseudonym and expanded the Harry Potter world by co-authoring the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
