Exercise 14.8

The Harry Potter books deserve their popularity just as much as the Hunger Games deserves its popularity. J. K. Rowling worked very hard on the series and did a very good job at entrapping the reader within the book. This series was an escape for one's mind, an escape from the real world. The imagery, language, and suspense of each book keeps the reader hanging on every word and wanting more. Even at the end of the series the reader wants to know more because Rowling did such an amazing job at describing the fantastic fantasy world that is Harry Potter. The idea for these books was to get children interested in reading again, but not only was the child demographic hit; their parents, brothers and sisters were all incised to read the series. The Harry Potter series is one of, if not the most popular set of books the world has ever seen. This is all because the author worked so hard to create it. It also helps that the movies were created which pulled those who did not originally read the books to become fans and eventually readers of the series. Therefore, the popularity of the Harry Potter books are well deserved and should be respected for their ability to relate to audiences of all ages.
