But deep down Harry Potter is full of literary elements including an epic quest for the three main characters, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter. Harry Potter’s overall quest throughout the books is to track down the evil wizard, Voldemort. He must also learn about why he is so famous. His best friend, Ron Weasley, is poor boy with 7 siblings. Ron’s quest is to become more brave and be the leader. Hermione Granger, Harry’s other best friends, her quest is all about knowledge and to do what’s right.

Each novel is a continuous battle between good and evil, showcasing the strict divide between the two concepts. In each of the seven books, good always wins because of the power of love and courage. In the first novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry begins his feud with the evil wizard Voldemort. In the end good wins over evil because Harry’s headmaster and mentor, Dumbledore, helps Harry defeat Voldemort. Thus, the good wizards destroy the evil Voldemort. In the second novel, Harry Potter and the Chambers Secrets, an evil chamber is opened in Harry’s school, releasing the dreadful basilisk that captures students.

Have you ever read the Harry Potter series? I bade you to read the Harry Potter series. I have three reasons why you should read the novel, and they are: if you like magic, if you like wizards and witches, if you like suspense, then read the Harry Potter series. However, if you haven’t read the series, here is a brief description of the first book of the novel: “The Fantasy Novel, ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’, By J.K. Rowling is about a boy named Harry Potter who was a one year old that was left on the doorstep of his mother’s sister’s house, (Petunia Dursley). His Aunt and her husband, Vernon Dursley, accepted Harry. Eleven years later Harry Potter receives a letter from one of the best schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry named Hogwarts, a school for magic people. When Harry finds out he is a wizard, he sets off for Hogwarts, where he finds that he is very famous because of his lightning shaped scar and his great Quidditch skills. He also meets many kind people and his very first best friends, named Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry, Ron, and Hermione survive all the way to the end of the novel, where they discover that the Sorcerer’s Stone is about to be stolen, so Harry Ron, and Hermione try to save the stone. Finally Harry Potter alone reaches the stone where he meets the thief of the stone, the Dark Lord. There he most importantly finds a path he must take later in the series to overtake the Dark Lord, if he could survive his destiny.” After reading
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.
