One book that comes to mind when I think of situational irony is the Harry Potter series. The Harry Potter series is one of the most known book series that employs situational irony. Throughout all seven novels, the readers believe that Harry can kill the evil lord, Voldemort. However, the readers are thrown off guard at the end of the series when Harry allows Voldemort to kill him; which was exactly the opposite of what the reader’s expectations were. By using situational irony throughout all seven books, Rowling did a great job with adding twists to the story and from that it created an even better conflict.
