Why We Should Read Harry Potter

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.

Harry Potter is a fictional character invented by J.K Rowling in the series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Wikipedia, 2015). Harry is the main character in this series whose parents died when he was young and he was brought up by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.5). Harry was neglected by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.27). Harry is presented a whole new reality when he goes to the zoo one day and his integration into the magical world changes him from the foundation. These changes within him will be analysed using the developmental psychology theories of Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson to explain how the environment aided or obstructed Harry’s development.

The Harry Potter series is the best book series ever. On top you see wizards, wand, and other cool magical things every human wants to be able to do. 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.

I think I can relate to Harry as well as everyone else can because the author gives Harry problems and attributes that everyone has. For instant Harry tries to be sneaky many times in the story.

Have you ever felt that you’ve hurt someone by accident when you are having the time of your life? Bradbury gives us many examples of this in his book Fahrenheit 451. The meaning of the book is that too much entertainment is not good.

Reading the books was satisfying but I finished reading them they now sit on a book self collecting dust. Occasionally my whole family decides we haven't watched the movies in awhile and we turn that week-end into a Harry Potter movie marathon. I believe owning the movies and books is nice but enjoying them together with my family makes me happier and creates memories we all will share.

Many people believe that there is only one world that exist, but what they didn’t know is there is another world out there that seems to be out of the ordinary. A young boy named Harry Potter lives in a normal world and has no clue of what has yet to come for him. As his eleventh birthday strikes at midnight a man whose name is Hagrid, from the wizard world, reveals to Harry that he is not just human in the muggle world (a world where people were born without magic), but he is a wizard that is known as “The boy who lived” and it is time for him to start his training. As Harry Potter leaves the muggle world to attend to wizard school known as, Hogwarts, he experiences many strange adventures that may cause him to adjust because both worlds combined

Harry potter is popular for readers because it feels like you're in the novel too.The characters are interesting because they have a intriguing personality.The main characters are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.Harry potter had an unpleasant childhood and that changed when a owl comes out of nowhere and gave him an invitation to hogwarts.The readers feel deeply about Harry Potter’s childhood because he did not have parents,no friends,and had a disrespectful family.Now Harry potter has friends,a new home,and people who care about him.

I have read numerous delightful books by a variety of amazing authors. These books span from the genres of Action and Adventure, Mystery, Romance, and Comedy, some of the titles include: Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix, The Help, Bridge to Terabithia, Beloved, The Color Purple, and To Kill a Mockingbird. In my opinion these books all have their great qualities which make them a great read, although I must say if I were to recommend one book out of the group, I would definitely say read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Both of these series have had a significant impact on my reading and personality, as they both serve lessons of standing up for yourself and finding justice by any means. I think everyone over the age of 10 should read both these books (even if I was only eight when I read harry potter) as they will serve lessons to the unconscious mind, shaping children to be proud and independent

The series has been an international bestseller for many years now and has encouraged million of children to love reading, including one little girl from Minnesota...me. The first years of my elementary school experience were difficult for me, mainly because I hated reading. No matter how hard my parents and teachers tried to encourage me to read more, I refused, annoyed by the mere idea. Finally, in second grade my teacher showed me a colorful hardcover book titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Although I was incredibly skeptical, I very soon changed my mind. From the first sentence of “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much” (Rowling, Joanne K. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 7) to the very last line of “All was well” (Rowling, Joanne K. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 759) the Harry Potter series captured my attention and imagination. Soon I became an avid reader, devouring each Harry Potter book, as well as any other book I could get my hands on, which caused my test scores in reading and vocabulary to skyrocket, putting me near the 90th percentile for reading for the rest of my elementary school career. By sixth grade, I was reading at a 12th grade level and loving every minute of

I want to discover why it is good. When I read, I am able to embark on a personal journey. It helps me control my levels of stress and it brings me happiness. With To Kill a Mockingbird, I, a lover of books of all shapes and sizes, would grow frustrated and frankly, bored, whenever I was assigned to read it. I craved for the opportunity to share out my thoughts and feelings about the book but was unable to. Instead of growing as an intellectual, I became preoccupied with remembering character’s names and certain events in the book so I could pass the next quiz.

In 1997, the first book of the Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, was released in the United States. Soon, the Harry Potter craze took over the United States and the seven book series became the most popular series on the market because of its fictional setting and fantastical world unlike our own. However, just as quickly as it was becoming the most popular series to read, it was also becoming the most banned series of that time, for numerous reasons that made parents despise the idea of their children reading such mythical stories. Harry Potter became popular in a very short period of time because of the way readers could relate and place themselves in the story. Harry Potter is a constant repetition of three best friends-

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.
