*IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOKS OR WATCHED THE MOVIE AND ARE PLANNING TO DO SO STOP READING HERE*
Else continue…
Harry Potter: A series of 7 books that defined an entire generation. J.K.Rowling, had the entire youth planning the next step based on what she was going to do for an entire decade. J K Rowling, came up with the idea when she was in a train at King Cross Station, and BAM!!, platform 9 ¾, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the character of Harry Potter were in front of her.
She went to write the first novel and had a hard time finding a publisher. After numerous failed attempts she finally got a publisher and year after year, book after book, movie after movie, it has increased its sales, readership, and fan base to the point that there were people who went through Harry Potter withdrawal at the end of the series. I know I was one of those people who went through Harry Potter withdrawal.
The books are so mesmerizing that even after reading them almost 15 times it's still hard not to read it. Each book has it's own magic and charm and keeps the reader fixed to the book until the end. The books have a common theme to it yet they are extremely different from each other to the point that if asked to a group of 100 people the ratio of ‘likeness’ of each book would almost be the same.
The books message about love, equality, unity, friendship, and peace is what makes this book series so different from others. It is because of qualities like love and friendship that leads Harry to finally overcome Voldemort and kill him.
All the books cover a lot of story and in most cases various stories simultaneously that it is really hard to convert that into movies, yet the movies have tried their best to do it's justice for the books.
I got goose bumps the first time I read all the books and fifteen times later I still get goose bumps every time I read the books.
I agree. I think that J.K. Rowling's books were so successful because it gave people a chance to go on an adventure in an alternative world full of magic. She is so vivid in her stories and it draws the reader in and places them in the story. I think it is a stress reliever for many people because who would not want to live in a world full of magic?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your take on the series but isn't it kinda funny that one of the messages is peace and yet things/ characters are constantly killing things? (Basilisk, Voldemort,Dumbledore, etc)
