Children Literature and Harry potter

 

Harry Potter is not reality but it is what something beyond reality.At very first only a simple and single question came in reader’s mind that what is Children’s literature? So in simple words we can give definition of it that that which literature contains stories like fairy tales, poems, some books which can entertain children with some beautiful message, is known as Children’s Literature.The whole series covers so many elements like, fantasy, young­ and adult fiction, mystery, thriller, bildungsroman, magical realism. If any child read ‘Harry Potter’ then he or she can get enough state of entertainment from any part of this novel. This novel is also written in very easy English language and because of it any child who can read and understand easy English can read the entire series.Children use to read this series with more imaginative power and reality and so they even can connect their self with characters of the novel and that thing drags them into magical world of Harry Potter. Adult person may not believe that this thing can ever happen but for young children, Harry Potter is like a friend which can do some magic and they even imagine that once they can also be in the real world of Harry Potter they can do the same magic tricks and many more. These books are like fairy tale for parents and children wants to read it during their sleeping time so they can travel into dream lands of Harry Potter. Main successful and powerful element of this book is its magical significance and magical world of Wizards and Witches. They can do magic with their magical wand and they can hide their self under invisible cloak.  So these are some magical elements which can create a new world of magic in children’s mind and these are things which bring Harry Potter close to children’s heart.

 In this novel we see the racism,  ministry of magic , power and politics which is more than children's literature.
