Children’s Literature and Harry Potter

Children’s Literature and Harry Potter: How far does J K Rowling transcends the canonical confines of children’s literature and claims the heights of ‘real’ literature?

Harry potter was written as children literature because it deals with fantasy world, mystery story, school story, adventure novel, humorous story, and epic. after four books it doesn’t remain as a children’s literature. Along with children’s literature It contain some aspect of adolescent literature as well. It took children to the reality that if you know magic then also you can’t bring the death ones back. After fifth and sixth part it doesn't remain as much of it. The magic of Hogwarts is really for everyone. Some people realized this long ago, but Harry Potter cannot continue to be synonymous with children’s literature for others to take notice. JK Rowling has created something that is much more than children’s literature. She has created a story for all people, and I think that is it is time to acknowledge that. Children are not going to stop reading Harry Potter now. If that is the case, is it not about time for more adults to start? A book that can be enjoyed by all ages should be marketed for all ages. If you can never be too old for Harry Potter. Harry deals with power and politics, the dark lord. The different perspective of this novel like racism, ministry, politics, which is more than children's literatur., I do not understand how his story can be confined to the children’s section.

thank you.................
