This popularity raises questions to a lot of people like, what’s the magic formula behind this popularity? Here are the reasons why Harry Potter is still popular and adored by many people worldwide, after so many years of its publication.

Everybody Wish to Go to Hogwarts

Perhaps one important reason to the popularity and worldwide appeal of the remarkable and notorious series is its relevant situation for young ones. Every kid and teen as well have to go to school every day, and virtually all of them want it was simply as thrilling and delightful as the Harry Potter world. The unique and rare houses, the castle, magical subjects as well as sports, all these add to the everyday life of teens in school that they all want they had. Most of them await an invitation letter to visit or go to Hogwarts even to this date.

Everybody Wants Harry to Be Their Friend

We have to accept the fact that friends come and go. Some opted to stay regardless of the situation, and despite the criticism, it could mean for them. Harry is in the comfortable position of having good friends. Hermione and Ron, but others, as well as Luna and Neville, are facing powers of darkness together with our hero and cheer him up in times of trouble.

Grow Along with Harry

Like the age group, which grew up while JK Rowling’s fantasy relied on were first released, today’s kids and teens can have to do with personal issues that our hero is facing all through his life. From finding a friend and trying to fit in, to puberty issues and having to deal with loss, the challenges are generally enduring and relevant. Growing up along with Harry Potter works well now as it did in the late 1990s.

Teaches Important Lessons and Advises

While each one can grow up along with our hero and his comrades over the years, today’s generation also needs to face the same issues and learn similar lessons that Harry Potter and friends do. Today, people know how different social settings can mold a teen’s career prospects and know that bigotry and racism are as hard a challenge in the magical world as they are in the normal world.

There are vital lessons on long-standing grudges, misjudgment, and forgiveness with regards to characters. All are applicable and relatable to our lives, regardless of the generation.

Escapism

Maybe it is the simplest reason behind the popularity of the Harry Potter series. Our hero captured the whole generations’ imagination as powerfully as few books for youth ever existed. The narrative of this remarkable magical setting that surrounds us all but is still conceal from muggles’ eyes is as enticing to the young generation as it was to the age group who first grabbed the first series way back in 1997.
