With so much talking about Harry Porter I recently came across this interesting blog called
Harry Potter and Why We Can’t Resist a Story About the “Chosen One” .
Here is a part of it:
Attention conservation notice: This post is about why I think Harry’s story is everyone’s story, and contains spoilers. Also, it is very long.
The latest and last Harry Potter novel came out in summer. I’m a fan, but I waited to buy my own copy until just a week or so ago.
I had made a deal with myself. Summer felt too active to me, too hot and eventful, not a reader’s season especially for a book like this which is special in the life of the reader. And I (who love for things to have themes and seasons into which they fit) thought the cozy world of Hogwarts would be far, far better suited to colder weather.
So come autumn and the first cold nights of the year, I bought the book at last.
Why so many people, especially children love this book? I personally don't find anything special in Harry Porter as well as Lord of Rings and others.
