What Are The Pros And Cons Of Harry Potter Books

One of my main objections that I have with this book is that it doesn't present enough of a point of view. It is sort of like a bad research paper, without an opinion, it is simply an organized sheet of facts. Although I wouldn't call this book terrible or a failure, I would call it incomplete. It gives the feeling of reading an encyclopedia, but with more interesting details. It is understandable to have a weak opinion in an informational book, but no opinion at all is scarcely acceptable.

Did you know that the Harry Potter series has been translated into 68 different languages and has sold over 400 million copies worldwide? Harry Potter has inspired a new generation of readers. Harry Potter is banned in so many schools, but it still has changed our culture.

Many school districts do not have “manga”or “anime” banned (Debate.org). This style of literature is often considered non educational. Books should at least have censorship when profanity or have sexually explicit content are used. Reading this content as a student is 100% unnecessary. In a study done in 2000-09 by the American Library Association, about 1,250 books were challenged because of offensive language. Around 1,600 books were challenged in that same study for being sexually explicit (Butler.edu). During this, almost all books that were banned were either in school libraries or schools. A common example of a banned book is Harry Potter by J.Kk. Rowling. This book has a “presence of witchcraft”’(Butler.edu). In many people's’ minds, witchcraft is extremely bad, and completely unnecessary to discuss those topics. Since many people are against witchcraft, if that was to be discussed in schools, awful consequences for teacher as well as student could result.

Why do certain people rule over what each child can and cannot read? Is that not the parents’ job to determine whether or not is it appropriate for their child? When a book is considered banned, parents, teachers, and librarians are discouraged from providing the book to their children. Many of these adults then disapprove of the book without even reading it. Junie B. Jones is thrown from the realm of possibility for many children just because the loveable character has some flaws.

Stage one took place from 1997-2000 when J. K Rowling released the first 3 novels of the Harry Potter series:Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997,Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in 1998 and followed by Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in 1999. The books displayed all the elements needed for a “tip” to occur through the use of word of mouth and buzz marketing tactics. Once J.K. Rowling’s creation tipped in 2000 with her 4th book published Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire along with the first movie from her first book were perceived to be the anchor of mass marketing and global sensation through novels, films and merchandise. It is this second, consumer oriented stage that has enabled the phenomenon to sustain itself for ten years.

All this has added to the growing popularity of the Harry Potter brand that is everywhere today. Young readers can relate to Harry’s issues and the books create another world the readers can subconsciously ‘escape’ too.

When certain books are given to the right age groups, then some situations won’t be so cruel. Such as “In 2006, some parents in a Kansas school district decided that talking animals are blasphemous and unnatural; passages about the spider dying were also criticized as being ‘inappropriate subject matter for a children’s book’” wouldn’t be such a big deal if the children were old enough to understand that the talking animals were not real and the spider dying is simply a part of life. (15 Books Banned For The Most Absurd Reasons Ever.) Also, children should be given the opportunity to read books that are about or from the perspective of children the same age. Even though some books may have a negative effect towards the readers, most books that teenagers read are about the same difficulties that lots of teenagers go through. Therefore, children can learn ways to deal with the conflicts they have in their lives. (Banned Books Week 2015)

The first weakness is some of the actions that is in the book is not really truthful. For example, in chapter 10, Violet just used a simple invention and climbed up to the tall tower, the most difficult part is to hook to the tower, and I think the hook is not strong enough to carry a person. The second weakness is the story may not fit the readers that are above 25 years old because the book is too easy for them, they might feel boring when they are reading this book. In this book, everything seems perfect, however, I believe the book still have some parts that did not work really well in the book. For example, the way that Count Olaf escape is like action movie’s segment, I think it does not suit this book. The book could be done better at make the story more realistic because even though the story is not real, but the main idea of the novel is not science fiction or action fiction. Next, the novel did not explain some details such as why Count Olaf’s house has many eye drawing and why Count Olaf’s ankle have an eye

Misleadingly, almost every review for The Wizard of Oz comments only on the positive components of this film. For example, IMDb user-“The_Film_Cricket”-states that Oz is meant to represent the colorful palette of our imagination in his review(A Fantasy Rooted in the Landscape), and the critics from Rotten Tomatoes also states that for The Wizard of Oz was, “An absolute masterpiece whose groundbreaking visuals and deft storytelling are still every bit as resonant, The Wizard of Oz is a must-see film for young and old”(The Wizard of Oz) Unfortunately, these critics were distracted by the plot, and he or she did not pull himself or herself from the storyline and actual notice the sub par quality of the movie.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a appreciable book, and deserves to be saved for the reason of how many future generations can learn from it. The Sorcerer’s Stone is a fictional book so it will help enable people’s imagination. There are also some lessons that can be taken from the book. Lastly it should be saved for the fact that it is enjoyable to read. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone should be saved, inasmuch as it enables people’s imagination, it teaches some important lessons, and it is enjoyable to read.

I would like to conclude by saying that this novel The Lord of the Rings has inspired many spin off works, including several games as well.The enormous popularity of Tolkien’s epic saga has greatly expanded the demand for fantay novels, largely thanks to the Lord of the Rings. It is an an extraordinary work, grandly conceived, brilliantly executed and wildly entertaining novel of Tolkien .In the whole novel we see that it 's a hobbit 's dream, a wizard 's delight. And, of course, it 's only the beginning.The language used in this novel is very simple and easy to understand by people. In short this novel has won the hearts of many .This novel is a must read. I see this novel as a near perfect: It 's one of the best fantasy novel ever written. The story just revolves around the Ring which is created by a Dark lord, Sauron.It has brought the supernaturalism in such a way that we could clearly make out where is the supernaturalism used.

The Harry Potter series- you may not have read it before, or not watched the movies, but you probably have heard of it before (I mean, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone ‘only’ sold about 107 million books and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is ‘only’ the 7th highest-grossing film of all time). You might not like it, but there are people who actually want to ban the books from children, at schools and even at some book stores. These people include teachers, parents, and some believers in faith, who insist that the books are evil and against their religion. In fact, the series is actually banned in the private schools in the United Arab Emirates.You might think this is fake, but this is “Sirius” business.

Using imagination and creativity, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has defined literature as transformative. In this seven-book series J.K Rowling imagined and creatively pieced together a fantasy world of muggles, wizards, tyrants, and heroes to symbolically share with readers problems plaguing modern society. Similar to Shelley’s work of the past, never before have readers in the modern era seen teenage and adult mania surrounding an 11-year-old wizard. Some will argue that J.K. Rowling’s young-adult series lacks depth or wants to twist young minds by using magic and evil, but through close examination it is evident that

In my mind it is no different than so many other fantasy stories I have read. I can honestly say I had not read Harry Potter until this assignment, if for no other reason than it just didn’t interest me. Did I feel like the talk of wizards and spells affected my Christianity belief system? Absolutely not. I think those that worry their children will want to learn more about witchcraft after reading the book should be more concerned with prepping their child. My daughter is not old enough yet to read the book, however, when she is we will have an open honest conversation. I would hope that the ideals and beliefs that my husband and I have instilled in my child are far stronger than the power of a book. Yes, books are powerful, but more powerful than parents? When I took something away from my daughter when she was little it made it that object even more desirable. If we ban these books, are we not doing the same? We are infringing on their intellectual freedom to have them decide for themselves what they would like to learn more about. As parents it is our job to help guide them to what is right and wrong and then pray that we have done our job effectively. We give them out experiences and help them to identify between reality and fantasy. Maybe that is why some parents so strongly oppose Harry Potter. They are concerned they have not given their children the faith system that can sustain an outside perspective. I

In the past couple years, there has been a growing phenomenon in the world of children's literature, this phenomenon is Harry Potter. J.K. Rowlings series of novels about a young wizard and his years at "Hogwarts School of Wizarding and Witchcraft," has become one of the most successful children's book series of all time. Before reading any of the now four novels, one may find it hard to believe that a children's novel may be so entertaining. But once one starts reading any of the four books, it is plain to see why these books are so popular.
