INTRODUCTION
J.K.Rowling’s works of literature have profoundly inspired and informed many people’s opinions and ambitions.Her best selling ‘’Harry Potter”series has helped young readers develop emotional and social skills. Heilman contends that,aside from the Bible, ‘’The Harry Potter” novels have hit more people around the world than any other book series. On a global scale , ‘’The Harry Potter” books have sold over 500 million copies. Rowlling’s contribution to the field of literature, however, is not limited to the many books she has published, but rather to how the literary works influense children, both now and future. Her books affect kids when they are young and vulnerable and have served to inspire an entire generation to read, thereby widening access to many other avenues for education. Rowling, through her renowned works of literature, has significantly shaped and impacted on the thoughts and goals of many readers of literature works, by training readers in emotional and social skills,besides motivating more individuals to write epic stories.
The literay oks of Rowlling have also attracted some adults. By stepping inside the minds of the main chacters of her books, adult readers have been reported to more empathetic. In so doing, such adult readers get an opportunity to consider alternative viewpoints and understand the rationale behind choices that they may not encounter firsthand. Importantly, ‘’Harry Potter” has been reported to be categorically helpful in lessening latent biases among kids.While her stories may be set in fantastical worlds, their relatable themes have been found to get children thinking positively about the world they inhabit.
J.K.Rowlling has made literature a cultural event, by making reading a trend. Children and adults who have interact with her books tend to want to indentify with the protagonists of books. These individuals would also want to Harry Potter midnight release events, argue over their most crushable chacters, and clad like their favorite characters. The literary works of Rowlling have also made reading literature texts something to be anticipated. According to Walkowitz, her books have made it normal for children to insist on staying awake till late night, to strat reading the next book in their most preffered series. By constructing such a striking literary commodity by building towards an excruciatingly mysterious conclusion, the author imbued reading with anticition and excitement for many children worldwide.
Through her works, Rowlling created a literary world that felt supernatural enough to thrill, but close enough to touch. This has been achieved by her skillful blend of customary British boarding school stories and traditional fantasty elements , offering a perfect and powerful balabce of fantsty and familiarity, thrill, and comfort. Readers not only want to read about her books but also want to identify with her. A read through Harry Potter books make readers believe that magic can happen to them.While readers know that the happenings in the book are probably not real, Rowlling makes them feel so real. Like some other prolific authors of children’ books, Rowlling believes that words are fun, making his books infectious. The ingenious wordplay hidden in her spell incantations, name choices and general terminology serves to ensure children learn some linguistic history while also helping stimulate lifelong fascination with meaning and language, both that are pivotal to understanding literature. Rowlling has also helped pass books for younger readers into a golden afe. While she did not create or invent young adult fantasy or fiction, after the publication of “Harry Potter” books that became a worldwild phenomenon, publishers could not overlookthe potential of that maeket.
Rowlling also created fantastic children’s horror by creating some genuinely scary monsters to act as minor adversaries in engeenring her initial sub-climaxes while also serving to develop another literary device that is crucial to melodramatic inflation . For instance, the early volumes of “Harry Potter ‘ have robust mystery element, in which it is intensely unclear to readers and to Harry, who his potential associates and covert enemies are. Also, in certain instances, the author presents certain characters like Sirius Black as lethal enemy but turns out to be an ardent ally. Such a depiction brings about a continual distortion of moral boundaries, rendering literay works more thrilling. Rowlling has significantly cobtributed to the world of literature by creating literary works that produce a crescendo effect. This kind of escalationis difficult to achieve since the pressure of melodramatic increase propels the majority of fantast series to attain apocalyptic conclusions. Rowllimng has achieved this in her works by artistically reducing here character Voldemort, to be virtually powerless due to his encounter with Harry. This serves to artistically match Voldemort’s gradual recovery of power, to Harry’s maturity and accumulated knowledge.
While epic literature have existed for several years., Rowlling’s Harry Potter was arguably the first epic to present epic storytelling on a scalec that can thrill mainstream readers. In contrast to other epic stories such as ‘’Loerd of the Rings’’, ‘’Harry Potter’” was composed in amanner that is recreational and accessible to readers who merely needed to experience the narrative without trailing through any heavy prose. Since the publication of “Harry Potter”, several stories such as “Th Hunger Games’’ and “Percy Jackson and the Olympians’’ have followed the footstepsa of Rowlling’s book. As such Rowlling has made epic stories available to young children and importantly, with little patience. What is more, the success of Rowlling’s “Harry Potter” has given room for both young adult fiction industry and speculative fiction industry to flourish. As a result of Rowlling’s works of literature, therefore, publishers of literature materials have become more willing to consider taking risks on authors of literature genres since they have believed that the genres can be tremendously successful. It can also be argued that this shift in the outlook of the young adult fiction industry and speculative fiction industry has led to the flourishing of young adult’s supernatural romance industry. In light of this , publishers have become eager to consider publishing books such as ‘’Vampire Diares “ and “Twilight’’ that have significantly enriched contremporary literature. This has been made possible since the momentum of Rowlling’s Harry Potterhas propelled such publications to try to captivate similar target markets. Moreover, Rowlling’s Harry Potter has prompted a new generation of literature readers. Rowlling’s characters have acted as many reader’s role models, compelling them seek new fictional role models from other literature materials.
During the period when more literature readers were changing to other media forms and reading lesser books, ‘’Harry Potter’’ books served to stir a deep and lasting public interest. It is this interest that translated into huge sales of more than four hundred and fifty copies of the books globally, compelling the book to the translated into more than sixty languages. Beyond just selling the copies, Rowlling’s “Harry Potter” changed book releases into most important events , changing the entire new generation of adults and kids into avid readers. In so doing , Rowlling’s works turned reading literature works into something more than cool, making it something magical.
Overall, the literary works of Rowlling have made rich and significant contribution to the world of literature.
