The books about Harry Potter were written in Britain by J. Rowling and were released through the period from the 30th of June 1997 till the 21st of July 2007. The genre of the series is Illusion, Mystery and Thriller. The literature inform about the escapades of a youngster Harry Potter and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley; all are the pupils at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
When in 1999 in the renowned best-seller set of "NY Times" the first three rows were occupied by Joanne Rowling's e book about a little wizard Harry Potter, it became apparent that the Girl is confronted with a fresh, hitherto unknown occurrence. First British, and then other developed countries were captivated with the epidemic of reading. All of a sudden, unexpectedly, children's literature has proven its competitiveness with such monsters as pop music and game industry.
Literary criticism.
From the beginning, Harry Potter publication has received positive reviews. The first reserve, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Rock won the attention of Scottish papers, like the Glasgow Herald, which said that the booklet was a "Magic products" (Eccleshare, 10) along with the Scotsman paper, which declared that it got "all the makings of the traditional" (Eccleshare, 10). A while later the British newspapers began to compare it with work of Roald Dahl's The Email on Sunday, and called Harry Potter "the most imaginative debut since Roald Dahl" (Eccleshare, 10).
When the booklet "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" had been finished, a whole lot of associates of literary classes began to give critical reviews. So, Harold Bloom, who is the professor in Yale and literary scholar and critic, said "Rowling's head is so governed by cliches" and that her inactive metaphors weren't the right way of the writing style (Bloom, 2003).
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban acquired a critical observation from the critic Anthony Holden in 1999. His judgment about the reserve was not positive - "the Potter saga was essentially patronising, traditional, highly derivative, dispiritingly nostalgic for a bygone Britain"; he also pointed out the "pedestrian, ungrammatical prose style". At the same time Ursula Le Guin said, that she didn't have great opinion about it. She added that whenever many adult critics were discussing the rare originality of the first reserve, she read it and remained somewhat puzzled. She realized it as a lively kid's fantasy mixed with a book about school, good fare for its generation, but it was typical in stylists, imaginatively derivative, and ethically somewhat mean-spirited.
The publisher Fay Weldon, accepted that the group of books had not been what poets expected, but nevertheless it was not a poetry, but it was readable, saleable, it was for each day.
The movie critic Charles Taylor (Salon Columnist. 2000) doesn't trust Byatt's criticisms in a few point. He agrees that she may have "a valid ethnic point-a teeny one-about the impulses that drive us to reassuring pop trash and from the troubling complexities of fine art" (Taylor, 2003). But at the same time he doesn't agree that the books are lacking in serious literary merit. Charles Taylor pointed out the progressively darker shade of the books, which we can easily see in the getting rid of of the classmate and a pal. He's also sure that Philosopher's Natural stone, which is known as to be the most lighthearted of the seven literature, disrupts the child years reassurances (Taylor, 2003).
The well-known Stephen Ruler called the literature "a feat of which only an excellent imagination is capable". He believes that the booklet is "a good one", but he seems boring to read the beginning of every publication, which starts with explanation of Harry at home with his awful uncle and aunt (Crazy About Harry. 2000). He has also joked that "Rowling's never achieved an adverb she did not like!" (Heilman, 112).
Beatles and Harry Potter.
Russian critic Vladimir Alexandrov compares Harry Potter with the Beatles. He drew attention to the fact that the day after the first performance of "The Beatles", the Herald Tribune reported that they contain: 75 % of advertising, 20% of hair styles and 5% of music sobs (Giselle, 45-48).
Meanwhile, for many subsequent years, no one has achieved the same fantastic success. They were still are a communal happening with a pronounced the world-historical significance. Indeed, thanks to "The Beatles" in the 60's the whole planet has taken a unique attempt to unite not motivated by the ideas of long lasting revolution or Islamic fundamentalism, but on the basis of music. Millions thought in "Beatles", and were all set after them. This, of course, was a utopia.
Joan Rowling would be the same trend. Today, a lot of men and women compare Beatlemania and Potteromania. Reasons for this are easily seen: deafening world reputation; the almost complete rejection of the initial highbrow critics, and the carrying on attacks from spiritual market leaders and organizations.
Especially uncovering is another reason. The increased anathema to Rowling evidently demonstrated the recognition of her popularity. Lately, "Book Review" reported about the demo burning literature about Potter. The Pastor Fletcher Brothers, the creator of the website with the eloquent title "Village of Liberty", has provided its antipotter reviews links to Gospel. Inside the 19 expresses of the USA there were efforts to prohibit for legal reasons the catalogs of Rowling. These were grasped as the propaganda of paganism and Satanism.
Harry Potter the Urban Mowgli.
The Catalogs about Harry Potter have amazing success. The authoritative judgment of American criticism tells a phenomenon described by the actual fact that book is about the most crucial children's worries - fear of being abandoned, fear of loneliness, fear never to meet the anticipations of parents. The Catalogs of Rowling convince children they can cope with all the current difficulties.
If to undergo the history of the series, we see that the first reserve "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Natural stone" says about the boy who miraculously survived after the tragedy that required the lives of his both parents, one year old Harry is within a totally alien to his environment. He lives with strangers in a odd world of Maglov. This world is the "stone jungle" which attempts to devour the kid, teach him to live a life by the laws of all jungles.
It sounds like the storyline of Kipling. He leaves his hero on the threshold of adulthood. The identical happens to Harry Potter. The miracle discovers him on the threshold of adolescence. He provides the invitation to wizards university Hogwarts, when, he should lose trust in magic. Every child has his Hogwarts.
Little children read Harry Potter with thrills, because they believe that the storyline is dear on their behalf. On their behalf, Hogwarts is something that is within the neighborhood. They will not strive to make it happen, because they're already there. For young people Harry Potter is a sort of potent tranquilizer-antidepressant. By themselves with him, they feel quite comfortable, despite all the trickery of age.
As long as a child lives in the soul of an adult, he will have confidence in Potter. He'll have confidence in the triumph of good over evil. May be it isn't inconclusive, but short-term, as is the situation with Rowling.
Conclusion.
Starting from the 30th of June 1997, when the first e book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Rock" was posted, the series became extremely popular and acquired positive criticism from all around the globe.
Some critics think that there are booklet that are not appropriate for children, such as "Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows".
By the June 2008, it was sold more than 400 million copies of the literature across the world and it has been translated into 67 dialects (Allsobrook, 2003), and the previous four catalogs successively set details as the quickest selling book in the whole history.
Nice report Joanne Rowling, which combines the attractiveness of fairy stories, detective, thriller and role-play, would have no reason to be a literary event and wouldn't normally be worth ships gossip, if not surprising dimensions of success.
