Почему англичане любят Гарри Поттера

Hello, I’m glad to see you in our events.

Today we’ll speak about Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling. 

  Why are the British  mad about Harry? 

1. Do you know, who has the most recognized face in Britain at the  moment? No, it's not the Queen, nor is it the Prime Minister it's not even Robbie Williams! It’s a young man called      Daniel Radcliffe. He is the actor who plays Harry Potter on film and whose face looks out from a thousand posters across the nation.
2. The phenomenal success of JK Rowling's Harry Potter books has been one of the most talked about and unexpected    success stories   in   the book    world.

Unexpected success! Thanks you for report.

 Many parents and teachers    have    been    as impressed by the books as the children.

3. Since the 1960s Britain has seen a steady decline in the popularity of reading amongst school-age children (especially boys).  The theme of the books is not very original and   there   have been many similar tales   published before without the same  success. Why then, should    these books   be   so popular in this day and age? But why these books are so popular?

Firstly, Harry, like all the best heroes or heroines, appears to be a normal child.

 Secondly, British people always like to take the side of the underdog and Harry has all the attributes of one. Harry is an orphan and is forced lives  with his cruel Aunt and uncle Vernon.

6. Thirdly, the school which Harry is sent to, Hogwarts, has a lot in common with a classic British public school. For example, a lot of the problems that Harry and his friends are facing in Hogwarts are class-related, such as the question of  'pure blood'. However, it is still easy for children to identify with Harry and his friends because they also behave like ordinary modern teenagers. And, of course, children (and their parents) just love all the horrible, dark things that happen in the books.
7. Look towards Britain on a clear night and you never know what you might see flying in the sky!
