Resumo de Harry Potter Novels.

Harry Potter - the literary phenomenon of the late 20th century, authored by Joanne.Kathleen.Rowling.

British novelist, J.K.Rowling is a gifted writer who has produced
arguably the greatest achievement in children's fiction since Enid
Blyton. Exciting adventure stories depicted in the magazines of Enid
Blyton set amidst the romance of boarding school, close childhood
friendships in the face of insurmountable difficulties, and a fantasy
world of magic and mystery against a set of hard and unappealing
reality. It lacked in sexual themes such as in Alice series by Phyllis
Reynolds Naylor, a well known for using offensive language unsuited to
certain age group. J.K.Rowling began to write in the series, Harry
Potter and the Philosopher's Stone published by Bloomsbury in 19997.
The other titles were 'Harry Potter and the Chambers of Secrets',
'Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Azkaban', and 'Harry Potter and
Goblet of Fire'. The latest ones were 'Quid ditch Through the Ages' and
'Fantastic Beasts and Where to find Them'.(In comic belief) She has
given this perennial theme definitive treatment for the generation in
her ongoing Harry Potter series. The books have marked a mass culture
mania. Harry Potter books blur the line between fantasy and reality
i.e. it takes the forces of evil. Potter-mania has expanded to become a
significant cultural phenomenon complete with a feature film and a wide
range of paraphernalia. However, there has been little critical
attention devoted to these books and the cultural phenomenon
surrounding them. Containing powerful, thought-provoking litereary
themes as well as potrayals of social and cultural normalcy, the Potter
books cumulatively serve as a powerful form of social text and desrve
serious critical attention. Elizabeth Heilman brings together scholars
from various disciplines to provide literary, cultural, sociological
and psychological examinations of the Harry Potter books as both
cultural product and social text.

It is the first critical study to unlock the inner meaning of Harry
Potter by treating the series seriously as literature along the lines
of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. It is the first expos to identify
Joanne Rowling as a Christian who consciously writes Christian Fantasy
in the tradition of C.S.Lewis and J.R.Tolkien. It is the first
full-fledged effort to predict Potter's future course in detail; an
audacious and thought-provoking adventure offered to fellow enthusiasts.
