“We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already” (J. K. Rowling). This quote comes from one of the most popular writers of this generation, J. K. Rowling. Rowling’s stories, despite being from Great Britain and coming from a poor family, impacted America like never before. Rowling thought of an idea for a novel upon a subway, not knowing that the idea would one day come to life and revolutionize the way readers look at fantasy novels.

It was written by J. K. Rowling and was released on 1997. The story starts with a man named Mr. Dursley, who feels a strange atmosphere while walking to work. In a different part of England, the head of a wizardry academy titled Hogwarts, meets with Professor McGonagall and a giant named Hagrid. Dumbledore, the head of Hogwarts, tells the two that a mysterious villain named Voldermolt had mercilessly killed Mr. and Mrs. Potter and attempted to kill their newborn son. Dumbledore decides to leave Harry at the doorstep of Mr. Dursley’s home along with a note explaining the situation. There, Harry grows up in an unsupportive home, the family being very rude to him and making him sleep in a small room under the stairs. Eventually, the family begins receiving admission letters from the prestigious school of Hogwarts, which Mr. Dursley attempts to hide from Harry. On the eve of Harry’s eleventh birthday, the giant Hagrid bursts through the door and hands Harry the admission letter himself. From there, Harry goes on a crazy adventure, meeting many friends and foes along the way. Including his two best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. The three friends then go on a crazy adventure in their first year attending Hogwarts. The mood throughout the novel goes through transitions, as the beginning is saddening, but turns more optimistic as Harry begins attending Hogwarts. After that, things begin to get scary and weird as Voldermort returns. The tone is similar in the fact that it goes through a transition, at first being hopeful but soon turns threatening. These themes are seen again as the series continues into another six books, before finally reaching the final one completing the seven book
