Taking A Look At JK Rowling's Harry Potter Series

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you are the sort of person who is always on the lookout for a good book to read (or, in fact, even if you are the sort of person who never reads at all), you are surely familiar with the general idea of the Harry Potter books - but what you may not have known, if you have not read these books yourself, is that these books, in spite of their label as "Children's Books" might actually be right up your alley!

Rowling started writing the Harry Potter series in the late 1990s, when she was a single working mom and was struck with an idea for a story about a boy wizard finding his way in the wizarding community; after failing to find a publisher on her first several tries, someone finally gave the book a chance, and the rest is history, as Rowling soon became one of the most well-known names in the world, and became the first author in history to become a billionaire from their writing!

What most people (even those who know nothing specific about the books!) know about Harry Potter is that the books are about wizards, but calling it simply "a series about wizards" would be like saying that the Lord of the Rings series is "a series about a magic ring"; part of the phenomenon behind this book is a story that is not only multilayered and intricately woven - with fine plot points that stretch across and weave their way through all of the books - but that is also written in such a way that it captures the reader and makes each part of each book difficult to put down.

Of course (as is the case with any book ever written!), not for everyone will love the Harry Potter series, but for anyone who loves to vary the sorts of books they read, and who enjoys anything that is engaging and adventurous, this is certainly a series worth giving a chance. Even though the books fall into the category of "Children's Books," you will find soon after you begin reading that these books fall into another category as well: lasting classics!
