There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.

Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (in English):
“It is inevitable — the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊

I'm fascinated by this one:

“The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel”

because changes in technology have changed its meaning dramatically since 1982. What colour are you imagining?

I read an article once which said research showed that Harry Potter books had kids reading LESS. They would read one, then wait a year for the next one.
