A guide to the Harry Potter novels

How is it that J.K. Rowling\'s apparently simple fantasy school stories have so completely won the hearts and heads of child and adult readers all over the world? Is it that an exceptional marketing campaign has bamboozled otherwise cool-headed and cold-hearted critics? Or is it that our era has a deep-seated need for calm and order to help us to cope with new and distant horizons? Or could it be that children yearn for the magical lives of characters that contrast with their own increasingly constrained and protected existence?

  • "JK Rowling now is half-way through a series which has taken the world by storm. Unusually, she has attracted success both in terms of massive sales figures and critical acclaim. This study will look at her books and consider some of the reasons for their phenomenal success. This will be done against a background of how Harry Potter relates to other contemporary childrenÆs books so that students and teachers can place them in the context for which they were written.This book has not been authorized by JK Rowling, her agent, or Warner Bros."@en
