We are looking for authentic children's letters to Harry Potter for a book, Kids' Letters to Harry Potter, by Bill Adler. Kids' Letters to Harry Potter will be published by Carroll and Graf.

Would your like to write a letter to Harry Potter? These can be fan letters, letters about Harry's magic, about any of Harry's teachers, questions about Quidditch, ideas for classes at Hogwarts, new spells Harry might use, for instance. Feel free to be creative! Your friends, classmates, children, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren are welcome to contribute, too.

Bill Adler is the author of numerous letters books, including Kids' Letters to the President Kennedy, Kids' Letters to the Beatles and Letters from Camp.

How is Hogwarts? I hope Malfoy isn’t cracking your sanity. Is Neville Longbottom melting fewer cauldrons? Are You Managing To annoy Dudley enough? Maybe you can cast a spell that will make him recite expressive poetry. (Roses Are red, violets are blue…..) Is Snape going easier on you?

How are dobby and winky doing? (my request is that you give them each a new pair of socks, Or else!) The spell to make Dudley recite poetry is:

Annoying, pesky little brat,
A child who is way too fat,
Recite poetry by poe or twain,
Do it now before you destroy my brain!

You might want to try that on Aunt Petunia or Uncle Vernon. Is your firebolt functioning well?

Rachel, ( Master Quidditch player and expert enchantress)

You are so lucky you can ride a broom. It sounds so fun! If I were you I’d ride a lot. How does it feel to be able to use magic? Do you think it is a privilege?

The tournament you were in sounds exciting. I liked the first part of the tournament the most.

Also, Harry, we have raccoons in our house. Will you do me a favor and cast a spell to get rid of them?

I’ve never heard of anybody before with a pet owl. It must be fun! Hogwarts seems like a really neat school! (Too bad I can’t go to it.) What is your favorite subject in Hogwarts? I think mine might be the Defense of the Dark Arts. It seems your life is full of adventure.

I think you’re great and that you’re the most powerful wizard I’ve ever read about.

Could you do me a favor? Do you think you could cast a spell so I don’t have to clean up my room?

It’s best if the spell would make my room clean itself, but if the spell made it so my parents didn’t care, that’s ok, too.

Remember to include your mailing address so we can send you a copy of the book! (If you don't hear back from within a couple days of sending your email, send it again -- sometimes email does get lost!) We will not be including anyone's street address in Letters to Harry Potter.
