Rowling, By J.k Rowling

Now that she writes for ages 12 and up, and for all genders she has written over 40 novels and 2 series. One main reason she writes is to make the readers feel like they are being herard and not ignored. Her number one best selling/ read book genres are

influenced her writing very much, especially because she was young and people tend to be more

Now she is one of the most recognized authors around the world. Many people were inspired by Joanne to write. Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians, says he was greatly inspired by JK Rowling’s work. He once said, “I’m a big Harry Potter fan; I love Harry Potter. One of the reasons I wrote this is because I was in between Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince, and I needed something to get me through the way.”

Now, let's get back to 'Why we should read Harry Potter'. To begin with, Harry Potter teaches us many lessons. For instance, friendship. Harry, Ron,and Hermione are best friends. They went through everything together no matter that it is a good things or very serious problems, they never abandoned their friends. They always stay by each other side, encourage each other and always help each other. They never scared of anything because their beat friends were together with them. This shows us that a true friendship is necessarily in our lives. We, humans are social animals, we can't live without friends.

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling is a magical story about a boy who set on a heroic journey to save his home. Along the way he shows great heroism, courage, and natural intelligence as he navigates his way through Hogwarts and it’s mystery’s. Harry Potter’s story left a mark in every audience member's heart and a permanent fondness for the magical story in their minds.

A recent article in the Time magazine written by Ashley Ross celebrates J.K. Rowling’s 50th birthday with 50 lessons taught by her. The lessons’ topics range from persistence to politics, inspiration to acceptance, and life after death. Going from the books to the movies was an journey that several million took. Even in the movies could lessons be learned. An example of an important line, “Happiness can be found,even in the darkest of time, if one only remembers to turn on the light,” given by Professor Dumbledore in the Goblet of Fire movie wasn’t even written by J.K. Rowling, but by Steven Kloyes because it is something Dumbledore would say.

    To begin, J.K. Rowling’s books have been nominated and have won several awards, and they have even broken some records. In 2007, J.K. Rowling was awarded with the Nestle Children’s Book Prize. Later on, her book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, took home the Hugo Award. Once her books started to become more and more popular, they turned into a series of movies. The first movie became very well known and pretty soon everyone had seen the movie. “The film debuted on a record of 8,200 screens and smashed the previous office record.” (J.K. Rowling) Therefore, J.K. Rowling was able to achieve great things with her book series.

Rowling was born in Yate, England on July 31, 1965. She was born into a family of 4. Her mother, Anne, her father, Peter, and her sister, Dianne. Rowling loved reading even as a child. Some of her favorite books were: The Little White Horse, Manxmouse, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She knew very early on that she wanted to be a writer. She finished her first story

Millions have read the popular book series, Harry Potter, and have become fans of the famous hero that Harry is. Author J.K. Rowling made millions of children excited for reading. The Harry Potter book series has become synonymous with screaming fans, midnight movie premieres, and record-breaking book sales. It is one of the most popular book series of all time, internationally, and is considered the book that made kids want to read again. While many fans immerse themselves in the fantasy world of Harry Potter, there are some people that believe that Harry Potter is the work of evil, and the world J.K. Rowling created makes readers abandon God and take part in witchcraft.

Rowling was born on July 31, 1965 in Chipping Sodbury. Rowling got her education from Exetar University in 1987 (“J.K.

Rowling's Harry Potter titles dominated the fiction hardcover and paperback bestsellers lists in 2000 at Barnes & Noble's superstores” (“Potter”). Harry Potter, being the focus of the novel, “represents a new soul force in the seeker who wants to go the Path of Alchemical Transformation resulting in total liberation” (Hans, Symbolism). The novel has many symbolic meanings, “Yet the popularity of the Harry Potter books actually has everything to do with our symbolizing tendency itself” (Siegel). JK Rowling uses many styles of writing, especially with portraying her characters, “The Potter story is a fairy tale, plus a bildungsroman, plus a murder mystery, plus a cosmic war of good and evil, and there's almost no classic in any of those genres that doesn't reverberate between the lines of Harry's saga (74)” (Pennington). As the main character, “Harry saves himself and others from death….Harry--and the text itself--struggle against Being-toward-death until the boy's acceptance of his symbolic power allows the resolution of the plot to effect the book's demise” (Trites). Harry Potter has many important qualities, “The manifestation of such energies may emerge in the form of a hero, a figure who represents the intense human struggle for both power and wisdom, recognition and introspection, grandeur and honor” (Pharr). Harry defies all human-like qualities to balance the world of magic together with the material world. Harry has an important role in the novel,

In, J.K Rowling’s Philosopher’s Stone there are a number of references to ancient mythologies. The events, characters and creatures in the story are not purely fictional, most of them relate to ancient mythology embedded in different cultures. According to Joseph Campbell, American mythologist, when people think of mythology, they usually correlate it with Greek mythology. This is illustrated through examples such as the dog Fluffy, the Philosopher’s stone, magic numbers three and seven, and also its characters, like Harry Potter, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Hermione. According to Campbell, myths provide direction, teaching young people about their own life and culture. To do so J.K. Rowling’s novel Philosopher’s Stone, rewrites modern versions of ancient myths, therefore they provide relatable guidance and teach young readers about their lives. The novel fulfils this need by providing engaging action and supernatural events.

Another factor which I believe has led to the novels success is that while reading, the reader wishes that they could live in this fantasy world created by Rowling where life is anything but ordinary. The novels make the reader somewhat desire a life like the one led by the characters of the novels, like going to a school to learn wizarding, always having extraordinary things happen and just being at Hogwarts seems like an unequaled joy for some. These novels have the ability to reignite the long lost imaginations of adults, and keep the imaginations of children strong.
