Short Answer
1. What makes the setting of a magical world appealing or interesting? How might an author create a sense of wonder or danger in a fantasy setting?
Teaching Suggestion: To introduce this prompt by drawing on past experiences, consider asking students to brainstorm fantasy narratives with which they are familiar. Students could discuss what makes the worlds from these stories interesting or different from realistic fiction. If they are not familiar with the rest of the Harry Potter series, this could provide an opportunity to introduce the elements of fantasy established in prior novels.
2. How has the Harry Potter series impacted reading trends, particularly among young readers? What about this series might have contributed to its widespread appeal? Do you think this trend will continue? Will the Harry Potter series continue to be popular in the future? Why or why not?
