The Magic World of Harry Potter

Why did I choose such complicated theme for discussion? Well, cause the world of Harry Potter is an unimaginable thing created by just a simple author, J. K. Rowling(Joanne "Jo" Rowling). A simple woman, who surpassed the highest peaks of imagination, creating creatures, even intelligent ones, with their own name, different and unique spells, great witches and wizards and an beautiful, yet scary world for a simple mortal. My paper is divided in 4 chapters: "How J. K. Rowling got the idea of creating such masterpiece?"; a summary of the seven book; Magizoology; and the cast, crew members, awards and the budget invested in films.

All the films have been a success financially and critically, making the franchise one of the major Hollywood "tent-poles" akin to James Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean. The series is noted by audiences for growing visually darker and more mature as each film was released. However, opinions of the films generally divide book fans, with some preferring the more faithful approach of the first two films and others preferring the more stylised character-driven approach of the later films.

Some also feel the series has a "disjointed" feel due to the changes in directors, as well as Michael Gambon's interpretation of Albus Dumbledore differing from that of  Richard Harris. Author J. K. Rowling has been constantly supportive of the films, and evaluated Deathly Hallows as her favourite one in the series. She wrote on her website of the changes in the book-to-film transition, "It is simply impossible to incorporate every one of my storylines into a film that has to be kept under four hours long. Obviously films have restrictions – novels do not have constraints of time and budget; I can create dazzling effects relying on nothing but the interaction of my own and my readers' imaginations".

You are going to learn about each film, I added a photo at the end to show all the films covers which present the evolution of Harry and others.

Harry Potter world fascinated me, since I was little. Even though at the beginning I didn't understand the "complicated things" in that world, still it struck me as a beautiful creation. The films create the "image", the world that author want for us to see. Also even if you're not into reading, yes the books offer much information, still as you see the films, you can feel as Harry Potter world being a "reality".
