In the modern day with increasing technology the literature that we read is not up to the standards set years ago. This is for many reasons. Most people cannot easily read high language that uses critical theories and devices. Now some many more things are being published after the printing press was invented. This has lead to a drastic wake left behind the great literature. Now many of the most popular books are from a simple idea and the author needs no skill to succeed.
The elaborate descriptions and not the intellectual depth was the reason each book in the series lasted longer than seven hundred pages. Children are raised in a modern time where they practically learn how to read from Harry Potter. Another reason for why Harry Potter was met with such success was J.K. Rowling’s use of religion and the natural to incite people around the world. The world that Rowling creates is a fictional one but it is set on the same planet we all live on.
The natural emotions that humans feel were also present. This allowed the reader to relate to the natural settings of a world filled with wizards. Those were the people incited for positive reasons by Harry Potter. Some people had an entirely different reading of Harry Potter, that J.K. Rowling was anti Christian and trying to brainwash the youth. A person would have to read Harry Potter as a non fictional account of history to believe something so asinine. This clearly is not the case yet national news was made time after time about parents or churches banning their children to read Harry Potter. Maybe J.K. Rowling took note of what Sprat said long before. She was able to create a work logical for easy sensible delights for the reader.
Harry Potter Is Low Brow
