Abstract EN

The Harry Potter series has been a great publishing success for their phenomenal British author J.K.

Rowling.

The paper examines why Rowling’s Harry Potter books continue to be so popular.

Throughout the examination, the paper concludes the answer to be that there are certain ideas or themes derived from the books that are of great concern to many people whatever their culture or society is.

These themes according to the study perhaps the reason behind this increasing concern of Harry Potter as it attracted both young and adult readers.

It also argues Harry’s and Lord Voldemort’s moral choices in life, particularly the choice between good and evil.

Moreover, the paper sheds light on the importance of sacrificial parental love which the writer considers as a moral philosophy to live by, and Rowling’s own image of woman
