J. K. Rowling
Joanne Rowling, this unique phenomenon of modern writing shares with the rest
of us a total bewilderment of just what has made the Harry Potter
phenomenon such a global success. There have certainly been better
fantasies that straddle the children/adult reading boundaries - see
Alan Garner or Madeleine
L'Engle, for instance - but this shouldn't detract from the fact that
Rowling's books are solidly crafted and a delight to read.
For a long time we ignored
Rowling just because of this runaway popularity, but having had to read them
for a piece of journalism, this proved to have been a mistake. If you are
one of the few people who has so far resisted the temptation, it's time to
give in. Harry Potter, as they used to say, rules, okay?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
[US - Sorcerer's] Stone.
The first of the Harry Potters. When it first
came out no-one knew what was to come. Might even have seemed a bit
derivative of the popular 'worst witch' series of books. But now we know how
wrong we were. Like every child who has wondered if he or she is somehow
different, Harry felt he didn't fit in. Now he discovers that he is very
special indeed, and once he's a pupil at Hogwarts School his life will never
be the same again.

and the terrifying prison guards of Azkaban have been called in to guard the
school.

Harry Potter and Prisoner of
Azkaban.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of
Fire.
The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't
wait for the fourth year at Hogwarts School. Harry is expecting the usual
syllabus, but some quite unexpected events are lined up too. The chunky
Harry blockbuster - no-one was sure if Rowling could sustain such a long
book, but she does effortlessly.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of
Fire.
Harry Potter and the
Order of the Phoenix.
What everyone inevitably was asking was could
she do it again? Like its predecessor in the series it's a big book and in
places a very dark one - could Rowling keep the readers glued to the page.
Remarkably enough, yes. Is it the best Potter book yet? You'll have to judge
for yourself. Our assessment is not quite, but like Terry Pratchett, Rowling
does seem to be able to very reliably (if rather slowly) turn out just what
her readers are looking for.

What's a Christian to do with Harry
Potter (by Connie Neal).
Not one of the Harry Potter books, but rather about the
series. Particularly in the US there has been a backlash from some
Christians who are concerned that the Harry Potter books portray witchcraft
and dark forces in a positive light.
This well-balanced book is useful for any thinking Christians who want to
take a reasoned view rather than a reflex one.
