The script was released on 31 July The play's official synopsis was released on 23 October [25]. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.
As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Rowling has expanded the Harry Potter universe with several short books produced for various charities. Proceeds from the sale of these two books benefited the charity Comic Relief. The book was published internationally on 4 December In , Rowling launched a new website announcing an upcoming project called Pottermore. The main purpose of the website was to allow the user to journey though the story with access to content not revealed by JK Rowling previously, with over 18, words of additional content.
In September , the website was completely overhauled and most of the features were removed. The site has been redesigned and it mainly focuses on the information already available, rather than exploration.
The Harry Potter novels are mainly directed at a young adult audience as opposed to an audience of middle grade readers, children, or adults.
The novels fall within the genre of fantasy literature, and qualify as a type of fantasy called 'urban fantasy', 'contemporary fantasy', or 'low fantasy'. They are mainly dramas, and maintain a fairly serious and dark tone throughout, though they do contain some notable instances of tragicomedy and black humour.
In many respects, they are also examples of the bildungsroman , or coming of age novel, [37] and contain elements of mystery, adventure, horror, thriller, and romance. The books are also, in the words of Stephen King, 'shrewd mystery tales', [38] and each book is constructed in the manner of a Sherlock Holmes-style mystery adventure. The stories are told from a third person limited point of view with very few exceptions such as the opening chapters of Philosopher's Stone , Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows and the first two chapters of Half-Blood Prince.
Clare's and the Naughtiest Girl series, and Frank Richards's Billy Bunter novels: the Harry Potter books are predominantly set in Hogwarts, a fictional British boarding school for wizards, where the curriculum includes the use of magic. The Harry Potter stories feature much medieval imagery and motifs drawn from the King Arthur stories. Hogwarts resembles a medieval university-cum-castle with several professors who belonging to an Order of Merlin; Old Professor Binns still lectures about the International Warlock Convention of ; and a real historical person, a 14th century scribe Sir Nicolas Flamel, is described as a holder of the Philosopher's Stone.
Many of the motifs of the Potter stories such as the hero's quest invoking objects that confer invisibility, magical animals and trees, a forest full of danger and the recognition of a character based upon scars are drawn from medieval French Arthurian romances.
Arnden and Lorenz wrote about the similarity between the Arthurian romances, where Camelot is a place of wonder and safety, and from the heroic knights must venture forth facing various perils, usually in an enchanted forest; and Hogwarts, likewise a wondrous safe place, where Harry Potter and friends must periodically venture forth from to the magical forest that surrounds Hogwarts.
Like an Arthurian knight, Harry receives advice and encouragement from his mentor, Albus Dumbldore, who resembles both Merlin and King Arthur, but must vanquish his foes alone. Both Percival and Potter are however outsiders in the places that they belong, unfamiliar with the rules of knighthood and magic, but both show extraordinary natural abilities with Percival proving himself an exceptional fighter while Potter is an excellent player of Quidditch.
Each of the seven books is set over the course of one school year. Harry struggles with the problems he encounters, and dealing with them often involves the need to violate some school rules.
If students are caught breaking rules, they are often disciplined by Hogwarts professors. The stories reach their climax in the summer term, near or just after final exams, when events escalate far beyond in-school squabbles and struggles, and Harry must confront either Voldemort or one of his followers, the Death Eaters, with the stakes a matter of life and death — a point underlined, as the series progresses, by characters being killed in each of the final four books.
According to Rowling, a major theme in the series is death: 'My books are largely about death. They open with the death of Harry's parents. There is Voldemort's obsession with conquering death and his quest for immortality at any price, the goal of anyone with magic.
I so understand why Voldemort wants to conquer death. We're all frightened of it. Rowling stated that ' Harry Potter books have always, in fact, dealt explicitly with religious themes and questions' and that she did not reveal its Christian parallels in the beginning because doing so would have 'give[n] too much away to fans who might then see the parallels. Hermione Granger teaches Harry Potter that the meaning of these verses from the Christian Bible are 'living beyond death.
Living after death', which Rowling states is 'one of the central foundations of resurrection theology' and that these bible verses 'epitomize the whole series'. In the seventh novel, Harry speaks with and questions the deceased Dumbledore much like a person of faith would talk to and question God.
Academics and journalists have developed many other interpretations of themes in the books, some more complex than others, and some including political subtexts.
Themes such as normality, oppression, survival, and overcoming imposing odds have all been considered as prevalent throughout the series. Rowling has also been praised for her nuanced depiction of the ways in which death and violence affects youth, and humanity as a whole. Rowling said that, to her, the moral significance of the tales seems 'blindingly obvious'. The key for her was the choice between what is right and what is easy, 'because that In , Rowling was on a crowded train from Manchester to London when the idea for Harry suddenly 'fell into her head'.
Rowling gives an account of the experience on her website saying: [55]. I had been writing almost continuously since the age of six but I had never been so excited about an idea before. I simply sat and thought, for four delayed train hours, and all the details bubbled up in my brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who did not know he was a wizard became more and more real to me. Rowling completed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in and the manuscript was sent off to several prospective agents.
She elected to use J. Rowling Joanne Kathleen Rowling , using her grandmother's name as her second name because she has no middle name. The series has been translated into 80 languages, [3] placing Rowling among the most translated authors in history.
The first volume has been translated into Latin and even Ancient Greek, [74] making it the longest published work in Ancient Greek since the novels of Heliodorus of Emesa in the 3rd century AD. I will definitely recommend this book to fantasy, young adult lovers.

This collection of essays contributes to the scholarly discourse that forms Potter Studies. These essays take on the consideration of Rowling's work as being worthy of study as a phenomenon and influence, as well as a work of literary value. They add genuine statistical information about the reasons for the books' popularity, consider their effects on child readers, and examine some deep-rooted reasons for their having been manipulated in American publishing, in film adaptations, in musical complements, and in their thingification in popular culture around the world.
Some of these essays take on the critics of the books' religion and considerations of psychological, as well as philosophical good and evil, and well as some stylistic anomalies. The fact that scholars from China, Germany, Poland, Romania, and Israel, in addition to English-speaking nations, have felt compelled to examine these books in detail testifies in part to Harry Potter's world-wide influence.
