Product Information

Another reason for the phenomenon was its broad appeal--kids, teens, adults, fantasy-lovers and non fantasy-lovers. In contrast, the Wheel of Time series is also excellent and a long, momentum-building series, but its appeal is significantly narrower. One of the best series I've ever read. made my childhood MAGICAL! thank you Queen Rowling! *put my hands in the air*

I don't know why. I don't know what magic they hold that makes me overlook every flaw they might have, I don't know why it was these books specifically. I can't explain it. Secondly,another element is that the writer has an incredible knowledge of the chlidren's and teen's nature (well, i must admit she knows how adults tend to think as well). She represents accurately the development of the characters, their mood swings, how they grow-up and become almost adults, and all these feelings like love, friendship, jealousy, the feeling of failure and abandonment, thoughts about right and wrong and all the contradictions that may arise even in the strongest friendship. first read; I was 9. I remember every details from what I wore & who gave it to me as my late bday present (I owe her!) to which parts I read fast. Chapters name were chosen Fantastic! (I love the novels with names for their chapters) they were brilliant, funny & sometimes magical. They made you curious what would happen in the chapter & after you read chapter, you see why the chapter name was that but before, it doesn't give it away! also HP was the only series which I didn't forget the chapters name. & I can guess which chapter is in which book. (or tell them by the events happening) Life Lessons: there were full of inspirational quotes & hopefulness, full of lesson for real life, Friendship, facing your problems.

Rowling never underestimated her position as role model nor her character's ability to shape children's life. The book is clean (minus one well-placed swear word in the 7th book which is written at a 17-year-old level). There is no sex or even heavy making out, but there are the ups and downs of relationships as well as the sorrows and joys of teenagers growing up. It's relatable. The main heroine is not stupid or boy crazy, but a girl with a good head on her shoulders. The characters care about school, work hard to achieve their goals, and are loyal friends to each other. I think Rowling made a point to include role models she'd want her own children to emulate. Seguro que a muchos no les pasará desapercibido que Joan es nombre de mujer en EEUU y su versión británica es Joanne. No, no soy mujer. Y aunque podrían haberme llamado John o Juan, mi nombre es lo de menos. Pero sí, retomo lo dicho: mi lectura anual de esta historia es casi una promesa de amor ―que llevo al menos tres años sin cumplir, pues la última re-lectura fue en el 2011―. feelz (sad or happy) which is necessary for a Great story. & one of the best thing about this series is that Romance is Not the MAIN part! like the life, people had crush on each other, breakup, jokes, peaces, love. but not in much detailed. People don't Always think about their crush/love, not devouring in affection, not always paralyzed, unable to think straight. the story is not romance-centric. it is realistic, like real life. by each book, the world expanded; in first book we knew the magical world & Hogwarts, in 2nd we saw a wizard family. in 3rd we dealt with the wizard prison, Azkaban. in 4th we had a Quidditch world cup, other magic schools & dark side followers. in 5th we've been in the Ministry of Magic, politics & another pureblood family. in 6 we knew more about Hogwarts past, the world is cold & darker. in 7 we traveled around & you know what happened.

Although i read the books in a older age than most fans, i was completely enchanted, became friend with the characters and waited eagerly for the next book. I felt sorry when the series was completed but i admit that it was the right thing.there's no shame in loving all-potterhead's least favourite book, because it made the best times for me; the most excitements & feelz. I am proud :) Harry as the POV character thinks too, but his thoughts are related to story not just his feelings, I always feel the same way as he does, he doubts (or if he thinks about his feeling about his crush, it is just beautiful & realistic.) & we can actually see if he was deep in thoughts, the story was going on. I love this writing style. The finale was superb, the contradiction between Snape (such a special character...) and Dumbledor, made the reader think a lot about good and evil. I know that many readers wanted a death, so that the story could appear more convincing, but i think that would be too "easy". Personally, i felt rather strange about Dumbledor.
