What's so special about the series Harry Potter? Will they become classics?

Answer 1

The series came along at a critical time where lots of children were being lured into gaming and computers and tv shows. It brought back "literature" for children, and they learned once again how wonderful it is to be lost in a fictional world. They are classics, and our grandchildren will be reading them. She is a most phenomenal writer, and didn't ever write "down" to kids.

Answer 2

Harry Potter is a story based on the process of Alchemy, which is a science that has the purpose of turning impure metals into silver or gold. This science also implies religious and general spiritual symbolism. If you doubt that HP was created according to the main 7 stages of alchemy (that's why there are 7 books as well), just read the research posted on this site. http://www.harrypotterforseekers.com/
That's why their success is so astounding. Lord of the Rings and Lewis Carroll's works are created according to the same pattern.

They are not classics though. That's another thing that's special about them. People like them without knowing for sure why. And they don't fit into any direct category, they are just those outstanding books that have made history.

Answer 3

Hi! I have read tons of books and I am not really what you would call a teenager.
In fact my godchild drives me to Harry Potter and it is so funny! And very well-written and full of historical references like Nicolas Flamel the great alchemist...
The names are very cleverly chosen, I can tell you!
Well, all that makes of a book a classic, don't you think?
Grow-ups reading it with as much pleasure than kids, where do you go to find that?

My language is French and I speak English and Dutch, in fact I read parts in all those languages and you would be wondering about the translators, well done job there too...

Answer 5

Oh yes, they surely will. My children will read the HP series in school the same way I read Great Expectations. It seems unbelievable because we are not used to greatness in our lifetimes, but Rowling is on par with Dickens or Poe or any number of other 'classic' authors I can think of.

Answer 6

they suck... no they wont be classic.. they'll be forgotten
