Hello readers,
This blog is a part of my academic thinking activity and web quest given on Harry Potter series.
1) Children’s Literature and Harry Potter: How far does J K Rowling transcends the canonical confines of children’s literature and claims the heights of ‘real’ literature.
⥤ Children’s Literature and Harry Potter.
Children literature have characteristics like Concept of childhood, Action, Innocence, Fantastic, optimism, illustration, Children’s rights movements and all these and many other characteristics one can find in Harry Potter series of books. J. K. Rowling has done fantastic job. Readers grows with the Harry and His task becomes readers quest to solve the Riddle or find the ultimate solution.
“ Potter changed everything. Suddenly, publishers woke up to the idea that children’s literature was not something that was just read by children, but – crucially – was read by everyone. And the children who grew up reading Harry Potter went on to read children’s books as adults, which is one of the reasons the children’s market is seeing such huge growth.”
One of the radical things about the Potter books was the idea of the hero growing older as the series progressed,” says Cunningham, who now heads the children’s publisher Chicken House. “Twenty years ago, that was very unusual, and it enabled the books to address much wider issues, which children’s fiction in the past might have skirted. The Potter books may have been fantasy, but what they really did was to bring children’s books into the land of emotional realism.”
In seven book, one story of Harry grows child to teen age and his mental grown up, his maturity reflects at every stage. Thus, he fit info the definition of hero, who sacrifice for other and have great chivalry. His virtue wins over vices and it teach lesson of morality. To see Harry Potter as Moral philosophical literature go to my this blog.

What is interesting in this...reading and readability:
Interest and motivation are key to reading; reading is more than just decoding words.
Reading begins with decoding words with ease. The Five Finger Test can help determine whether a child is able to successfully read the book independently.
Asking questions about the story can help adults determine whether a child comprehends what he or she reads.
Some books are too mature for readers regardless of their ability to decode the words and read them fluently. Themes can be difficult or beyond a child's experience, making the book tough for readers to handle.
Books grow with readers. Rereading books offers opportunities for greater insight and practice with reading text fluently.
Books like Harry Potter can be a shared experience that builds community of readers.
