Contest #10 - Harry logs onto the Internet for the first time
March 21, 2005
This week's prompt was "Harry logs onto the Internet for the first time." Here's what JK Rowling had to say on the topic in 2001:
Has Harry ever used the Internet?
No. He's not allowed near Dudley's computer and Dudley's the only one who's got a computer. He gets beaten up if he goes too near the keyboard. So no, he's never used the Internet. I use it a lot but not Harry. Wizards don't really need to use the Internet but that's something that you'll find out later on in the series. They have a means of finding out what goes on in the outside world that I think is more fun than the Internet. Could anything be more fun than the Internet? Yes!
