The story of the young wizard Harry Potter, invented by the English writer J. K. Rowling, conquered the whole world. All seven books about the adventures of a black-haired schoolboy with round glasses have been filmed. Films about the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends have millions of fans around the world. But if not for an accident, none of this would have happened.
Instructions
Step 1
J. K. Rowling made the first sketches of the Harry Potter novels in 1990. Then chance intervened in her life. She was bored while waiting for a late train in Manchester, and suddenly it dawned on her what the adventurous life of a young wizard could be, unaware of his magical gift. But it took almost five years to write the first book.
Step 2
The series of novels began with the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". Many publishers refused to publish it, but in 1995 Rowling managed to sell the publishing rights to Bloomsbury for a nominal fee of £ 2,500. It took the publishers another two years to develop a marketing plan, cover art, and finally publish the novel. It suddenly became so popular that Joan had to speed up the writing of the following books: they began to appear almost every year. And from 1997 to 2007, the remaining six books in the series were published.
Step 3
The next stage in the development of "Potteriana" was the sale of the rights to the film adaptation of the film. J. K. Rowling decided that only English actors should play Harry Potter and his two friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Warner Bros., which bought the film rights to the first book in the series for £ 1 million, agreed to write these requirements in the contract. As a result, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint became the main actors in the Harry Potter series. They were all born and raised in the UK. All seven novels and eight films based on them narrate how the young wizard Harry Potter and his friends study at Hogwarts School. He masters the basics of magic, teaches spells. But his main concern is the desire of the evil magician Volan de Mort to enslave the world of wizards and sorcerers.
Step 4
Movies and books are not the only options for the existence of the Harry Potter story in our world. His name became so popular that a series of computer games about the adventures of a wizard appeared in the gaming industry. Entire amusement parks have been built in the United States and the United Kingdom to reproduce the atmosphere of the Hogwarts school. In addition, many brands of clothing, stationery, and other useful goods use the Harry Potter image to promote their products. Fans are asking J. K. Rowling to continue the series of novels about the wizard. But the writer remains adamant: she believes that she completed her Potter story in January 2007, when the last book of the series, entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was completed.
