The Truth About the Harry Potter Series

About a year ago, J. K. Rowling published her last installment to the Harry Potter series. Now, if you have not heard of these books, you must be living under a rock. These books inspire many young children to read and captures the imagination of almost anybody who reads them. This seven part series is a very good example of good always triumphing over evil. The story line of the book is enthralling, and Rowling makes the stories come to life. If you have not read these books, I encourage you to start.

Let's discuss the character development. J. K Rowling does an exceptionally good job in describing the main characters, but only those. For example, when she first introduces Harry Potter in the first book, she spends a good page and a half describing his personality and his appearance. You could picture him in your mind, because, Rowling described him so well. It felt like you were looking at him, not a page in a book. When Percy is introduced into the story line, he is described in three sentences. In my opinion, the author could have spent more time describing the supporting characters. Other than that, the characters were well presented, and in no time, it seems in no time you know them as well as anyone in your family.

Now, the story and plot had absolutely no flaws as far as I can tell. It can be described as brilliant, amazing, and fascinating. You might even go as far as to call it ludicrously well developed and written! If you love reading fiction, or you love the idea that there are wizards among us that are either hiding or undetectable, I would suggest you rush out to your library and pick up a copy of each book in the series. Each chapter flows into the next, and once you pick up one of the Harry Potter books, it will be extremely hard to set it down. You rarely get bored reading these books. They are fast paced and fun to read.

A few people have attacked these books claiming that this series is promoting witchcraft and leading children to hell. I can tell you, that from my standpoint, this is not the case. Do not believe a word of it! Most people who attack this children's book series just can't grasp the concept of imagination, and they can't wrap their minds around the fact that kids don't take books literally. Fact is, that the people attacking the Harry Potter series have not even read the books. Now have you ever seen a child sitting on a side walk dressed in robes with a pot on his lap, pointing a stick at it and muttering nonsense words? No, I thought not. There is nothing morally wrong about these books, just the classic good triumphs over evil. Technically, if people are attacking Harry Potter for this reason, it would be perfectly acceptable to attack The Chronicles of Narnia, and yet, no one questions those books.

The Harry Potter series is a great way to get yourself and adults. to enjoy reading. The books are fast paced enjoyable, and capture one's imagination easily. J. K. Rowling did a excellent job in developing the characters in the books and the storyline she came up with is wonderful. Though people might claim Harry Potter books are evil and vile, they are not and are, in fact, one of the best children's series out there. I strongly recommend reading these books if you have not already.
