The Magic Behind The Book By J.k. Rowling

This story takes place at the present time. It takes place over the course of one year. It all starts at a small town outside London, then moves to an enchanted castle, located in a the middle of Britain. The castle is very large and would take hours to describe in detail. It has secret passages, doors that can move, and suits of armour that can get up and walk around. It has four large towers, and a dungeon in which Potions class is held for the pupils. The castle is actually a large school by the name of “Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.” Hogwart is surrounded by a forbidden forest, which has werewolves and

Through all the readings that she had possessed she had become, what was the start of, an independent woman. The fact that she continued to read to further her knowledge and to learn more did not faze her that not many other women were doing as she was. At a young age she knew that “settling” with the roles of women during this time was a life that she had to choose but she also wanted more. She wanted to educate herself and that she did through the works of her favorite author’s books and poems.

As I was reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling, I was comparing the events that happened in Harry Potter to the book, Matilda by Roald Dahl. Matilda is about a girl who lives with her cruel parents but realizes she has power and uses that to defend herself from them. In the book Harry Potter, Harry is forced to live with his mean aunt and uncle after his parents die, and he realizes has the power to defend himself from his family. I noticed lots of similarities but also some differences. For example, some of the similarities are the theme of “family” and “power”, the main character runs into an evil character/s, and finally where most of the problems happen are at school or at their house. There are also some differences that I found as I was reading.

Finally, in 1997 Ms. Rowling released the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone through Bloomsbury Publishers (Bloomsbury). The book soon became a bestseller and “the Harry Potter series is now published in 78 languages, with over 450 million copies sold across the world” (Bloomsbury). This popular series has also inspired eight movies, a play, and a themed amusement park.

Cornelia Funke is by far one of the most accessible authors I have ever encountered. In a time of social media and instant gratification, she is ever inclined to remain connected with her audience. In thanks to Funke’s open nature, research was quite manageable. Between her website, her own involvement with answering fan inquiries on the website, GoodReads, as well as an abundance of interviews, I can see another reason why it may be relevant to consider her the German J.K Rowling, though I do prefer to think of her as her own entity of greatness without the comparisons.

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has become one of the most popular children’s series in the world over the past decade. Through these books children and young adults alike have delved into a fantastical world in which they explored the problems that their protagonist, Harry Potter, has faced. In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the sixth book of the Harry Potter series, Harry dealt with the challenge of proving to his peers and professors that Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape were no longer trustworthy. Even so, Harry failed to realize that the author of the notes in his Advanced Potion-Making book was corrupt. In this book, J.K. Rowling uses point of view, style, and irony to demonstrate the need for people to be more analytical

J. K. Rowling is the author of the best-selling Harry Potter series. As Bruno Bettelheim says, “If we hope to live not just moment to moment, but in true consciousness of our existence, then our greatest need and most difficult achievement is to find meaning in our lives” (Bettelheim 2). ”when children are young, it is literature that carries such information best” (Bettelheim 4).

Critics find her work “antithetical to established literary values, sustained by clearly monetary interests, and which in a few short years has climbed to an astonishing peak of international glory and financial success” (Virole 1).

A main rhetorical device that appears throughout the entire Harry Potter series is symbolism. There are many names and items that stand for something else and many are introduced in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. First, Harry’s scar represents the true love parents have for their children and how they are willing to do anything, including being killed, in order to save them. Next, the Mirror of Erised shows a person their truest desires and everything he or she would want in life. Thirdly, each wizard’s wand is representative of his or her character and personality and if the improper one is used, terrible events will occur.
