harry potter phenomenon
- Rowling's finished manuscript was rejected by number of publishers before publication as Harry potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Britain in 1997. this tale of Harry Potter , who learns of his magic abilities at age 11 and then attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, appeared in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 1998.
- From the beginning Rowling planned the Harry Potter series as a seven-book sequence, one book for each year of Harry's secondary school career at Hogwarts. The second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, was published in Britain in 1998 and a year later in the United States. A third volume, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, appeared in both countries in 1999. By then, the Harry Potter tale had been translated into nearly 30 languages.
- A fourth volume, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, reached bestseller lists weeks before its publication in july 2000. A fifth volume, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, appeared in 2003. It broke publishing records by selling 5 million copies on june 21, the date of its publication. the previous Harry Potter book had set the earlier record in 2000, with 3 million copies sold upon publication.
- The Harry Potter books combine two powerful genres- the school story and magical fantasy-but Rowling's treatment of these is almost entirely original. she does not avoid serious issues, such as self- sacrifice and death, and the series has successfully crossed the boundary between adults' and children's books. Three of the books have been turned into popular motion pictures: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). The popularity of the movies has reinforced the Harry Potter publishing phenomenon
