Hermione Granger teaches Harry Potter that the meaning of these verses from the Christian Bible are "living beyond death. In many respects, they are also examples of the bildungsroman, or coming of age novel, [8] and contain elements of mystery, adventure, horror, thriller, and romance. I had been writing almost continuously since the age of six but I had never been so excited about an idea before.

Rowling has described Harry as "the prism through which I view death", and further stated that "all of my characters are defined by their attitude to death and the possibility of death". The first book concludes with Harry's confrontation with Voldemort, who, in his quest to regain a body, yearns to possess the Philosopher's Stone, a substance that bestows everlasting life. In 2007, the seven Harry Potter book covers were depicted on a series of UK postage stamps issued by Royal Mail.This guide is jam-packed with film photographs, fascinating facts and fold-out sections of the infamous Marauders’ Map.

On 12 April 2023, the series was confirmed to be in development, and will be streamed on the new streaming service Max (formerly known as HBO Max). The second agent she tried, Christopher Little, offered to represent her and sent the manuscript to several publishers.There are currently five books in the series with more to come, and each one has been adapted for TV by the BBC and HBO.

I just ploughed on, as I tend to do in life, and then I realised I had really got myself into hot water. There is ongoing discussion regarding the extent to which the series was inspired by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books. The stories are told from a third person limited point of view with very few exceptions (such as the opening chapters of Philosopher's Stone, Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows and the first two chapters of Half-Blood Prince). Within that time, my mother had died, I had moved to Portugal to teach English, got married, and had my first daughter Jessica. His overall view of the series was negative – "the Potter saga was essentially patronising, conservative, highly derivative, dispiritingly nostalgic for a bygone Britain", and he speaks of "a pedestrian, ungrammatical prose style".Rowling made her first foray into adult fiction with The Casual Vacancy (2012; TV miniseries 2015), a contemporary social satire set in a small English town. The marriage didn’t work out and I moved with Jessica and the first three chapters of Harry Potter in a suitcase, to Edinburgh in Scotland, where my sister lived. Harry discovers that Ginny was possessed by an old diary, inside which the memory of Tom Marvolo Riddle, Voldemort's younger self, resides. In 2000, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel, and in 2001, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire won said award.
