This.


Al you're forgetting that J.K has had a massive impact on the lives of so many children, and so many more children in the future. This series has already gone down in history and it will continue for many, many years to come.

What sets the HP series apart from a lot of others is the fact that a lot of kids have grown up, as in aged with, (myself included) not only the books, but with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as they starred in the movies.


This is a series that will forever remain close to the hearts of people my age around the world.

When I have kids, as soon as they're at an age where they can grasp the story, I'll be reading it to them.

The cult following she has is wild, getting kids to read is never an easy task and the HP books are pretty long.

J.K. Rowling changed how I read books. The length never scares me anymore. It's truly about content for me.

She was broke and wrote a book that got ALOT OF PEOPLE TO READ
She keep the series going for 7-8 books all just as big or bigger then the last
Box office breaking movie records
Popular Vid games

BIGGEST OF ALL SHE GOT A GENERATION TO READ AGAIN. I really dont think somethings like twilight would be where they are without Harry Potter.

If the entire generation starts picking up Dickens, then I'll be impressed by such accolades.
