Construction of childhood in the novels Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling


Author(s): M Sirisha Rani

Abstract: This research examines how J.K. Rowling constructs children in her Harry Potter series through the interactions between magic and childhood evolution. The investigation analyses how wizardry elements stimulate children's imagination as well as their logical thinking and ethical maturation and their comprehension of fundamental human experiences like self-definition together with life endurance and equal treatment. The imaginative structures presented in the series enable children to face actual-life difficulties relating to bigotry and unethical conduct and unfair treatment. Using literary analysis, the research tracks vital elements from Harry Potter which reveal growth-related fluctuations in the literature's imaginative realm. A comparative study of Harry Potter and classic fantasies The Chronicles of Narnia and His Dark Materials reveals special features that distinguish this series from others in fantasy literature. Additionally, the paper addresses criticism such as being accused of excessive focus on escape activities and its restricted portrayal of minority groups. This paper verifies that Harry Potter functions as a transformative educational tool to develop child mental capacities in combination with emotional and moral elements which continuously teach vital life lessons about authentic self-expression and compassion alongside strength for survival.
