Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:46:20 EST What are the Harry Potter books? According to harrypotter-4-ever.com, the Harry Potter series is one of the most popular, best-selling sets of novels in the world. Seven books follow the "interesting" life of Harry Potter, a young wizard, who is famous in the magical community for being "the boy who lived"; the novels explore themes of love, friendship and the battle between good and evil, which all take place in a world of wizards, muggles and other fantastical creatures.
The Harry Potter series was written by British author, JK Rowling, and originally published by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom and Scholastic in the United States. The world learned about JK Rowling and her development of Harry Potter and, as it seems, continued to want more. Quoted by harrypotter-4-ever.com : 'absolutely no one could have predicted the cultural icon that J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter would become.'
Warner Bros. Pictures studio purchased the rights to transform the Harry Potter books into a series of motion pictures. Harry Potter actors, like Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson helped make the "blockbuster" hit movies. The Harry Potter novels have inspired movies, video games, clothing, figurines and in 2010, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
The Harry Potter books and films continue to sell and it seems that their popularity remains, as new ebooks and other products are continuously being released on the market.
