Harry Potter Research Paper

J.K Rowling is an incredibly talented author who has broken barriers for children’s books, and is an inspiration to all authors who come after her. She didn’t learn it on her own though, she has many other literary and cultural influences who helped her story along. We see many literary comparisons to authors like J.R.R Tolkien and C.S Lewis, and then we see the cultural influence such as Arthurian legend. In my research, I have found that a lot of her writing has been influenced by mythology. J.K Rowling herself has a passion for Greek, Roman, and classical mythology, and has been successful in sneaking it into the Harry Potter series through characters, spells, and even her magical creatures.

Joanne Rowling was born on July, 31st, 1965 in Yate England.

After graduating Exeter University, she married Jorge Arantes, a Portuguese journalist, and had a daughter named Jessica. Joanne Rowling shortly divorced and lived as a poor single mother and started writing what will be Harry Potter The Sorcerers Stone. Despite her troubles, Joanna Rowling was able to publish the Harry Potter series under the pen name J.K. Rowling

During her adolescent years, Joanne was not particularly close with her father, Peter Rowling. This distance exacerbated after Joanne’s father had remarried to another woman, one year after the death of Anne Volant Rowling in December 1990. Joanne and Dianne Rowling were strongly against this remarriage. Furthermore, the relationship between Joanne and her father aggravated, as Peter sold a rare collection of “Harry Potter” first edition novels to cover his £100,000 debts. These major events caused Joanne and Peter Rowling to ‘share’ an estranged relationship with each other.

Bedtime was an enjoyable and engaging period where young children listened intently to elders reading endless amounts of stories and fairytales until these children reached a certain age of maturity and decided on reading the “big boy and girl” chapter books without any assistance.

From there on, children and adults alike were mesmerized and hooked on the magical and enchanting world filled with wizards, witches, and spells. However, as much as people can distinguish Harry Potter, very few are aware of the brain of it all, J.K. Rowling, who went through numerous hardships, setbacks, and

The colors red and green are the colors of Christmas, and they represent joy and happiness. However, in the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, these colors mean something entirely different. The two colors completely contrast, and they represent good and evil.

Rowling’s desire to animate the realm of fantasy, the popularity of young adult literature has increased and encouraged reading habits; however, her books have aroused controversy

She knew that this problem would come up eventually. “No, that book is witchcraft and not for children.” The kid stomps his fee. He was annoyed that another popular book is banned. Outside, there are children screaming, “Accio, Expelliamus, and Lumnos,” on a Halloween Night. There are wands and lightning bolts in these children’s hands.

What matters are the choices we make in life: to be courageous in spite of fear, to be humble in spite of being great, and to accept that life goes on in spite of misfortunes. He taught me if someone has less than you, it doesn't distinguish or define them as a person. That friendship and bravery are more important than book smarts and revenge. That takes lots of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends. Most importantly, what Harry Potter gave me was the power of possibility. The possibility that I could live and breathe along with characters on a page. Harry Potter gave me the ability, and desire to see beyond my world, to discover what might be instead of relying on what already was. It helped me see that we are all born with a wild imagination, and there is space for us all to be creative. I have learned that we should not isolate ourselves from the world. While pretending something doesn’t exist is comforting, ignorance of what challenges us only causes more problems. Harry Potter reminds me that fear of a problem is much worse than the actual

I first started reading the Harry Potter series in 5th grade. I started with the second book of the series because that was the only book my classroom had, but ever since I have been obsessed with the entire premise of Harry Potter. It was a thing that my father enjoyed, so it is one of the few things that we could actually connect over (which had no impact on me liking it, it was just an added bonus of it). I was never ashamed of being a huge Harry Potter fan, I never minded the look people gave me when I got really passionate about a new theory I heard, or how Harry should not have named his child after Severus Snape. I felt comfortable when talking because those who were also fans reciprocated the excitement making me feel ok to be myself in public. Naturally, when the project came up, I was excited to do Harry Potter, the series I can read over and over again and not get tired of it. But to narrow down to one topic was difficult. There is an entire world to examine and to narrow down to a single topic about Harry Potter was almost impossible, but after talking about it with friends and looking online, I decided on a single topic. I chose to do the difference of watching/reading and being a fan of Harry Potter as an adult and as a child.
