Part 1: Ten questions to ask J.K Rowling

My favorite book series is Harry Potter.

• Can you write another “Harry Potter” book? …
• Will you ever write anything again? …
• What happened to the trio after Voldemort’
• Did Luna and Neville end up together?
• Did Harry, Ron and Hermione ever finish their schooling?
• What happened to Neville’s mum and dad?
• What about Hermione’s parents?
• Why is the scar on Harry’s forehead lightning shaped?
• Why was Snape’s portrait missing from the headmaster’s office in Hogwarts?
• Why did Harry name his son after him?

Part 2: Why children should read Harry Potter?

1. It’s brilliant storytelling with complex plot and world building that entertains readers so thoroughly that it’s easy to keep reading and reading and reading. Hence, the Harry Potter books develop a child’s LOVE of story and of reading. The writing is filled with rich word choice that will improve your child’s vocabulary. The fantastical, magical world of coming-of-age, adventure, and suspense ignites and improves a child’s imagination. Harry Potter teaches essential life lessons (that are sometimes easier to learn in a fantasy book than in a realistic one). The Harry Potter stories build empathy in readers. The books are appealing to both gender of readers. Boys and girls love these books. The strong female characters are fantastic role models for girls: Hermione, Ginny, Mrs. Weasley, Professor McGonagall, and Luna Lovegood, for example. The books are better and more complex than the movies. Harry Potter is an important part of our common mythology, the classic cannon of children’s literature, that we share with other readers. (Plus, the fandom (community) is AWESOME — check out Pottermore or Mugglenet to see for yourself.) Harry Potter’s story exemplifies the iconic hero’s journey which is an important literary device and will come up in almost all language arts and literature classes.

Part 3: Which is more important—books that inform or books that entertain?

Children learn better by taking in pieces of information and categorizing them. When they reach puberty they take this information, sort it, and think critically with it. They keep what they know, problem solve or create new ideas.

As a child grows, he or she adds to that warehouse of information. Sadly, many high school and college students do not have that strong solid informational knowledge base to do the work required of them in high school and college. Most college professors assume students know the information they need to summarize an article or understand unknown vocabulary words in context. From as early as possible, children need an ongoing diet of non-fiction reading material and all throughout their schooling years. Usborne Books are designed to provide information to the child in the way he or she learns it. Usborne books have large beautiful illustrations with small chunks of information around them. The illustrations and the factual text give the child the information in a straight forward, easy to understand way.

Studies show that children are not reading sufficiently, not comprehending what they read, and are not reading enough non-fiction. The only way to succeed with developing good reading habits and ensure comprehension is to read a lot.
