Harry Potter WebQuest

-By Kavisha Alagiya

Hello Readers


Welcome to the Harry Potter WebQuest site. This is Kavisha Alagiya, the creator of this site, feels immense pleasure to cater to you some approaches to understand and analyze Harry Potter texts from various perspectives.

Before we begin, let me provide you with some background information. As a part of my Masters in English Literature Course, I am studying J K Rowling's 'Harry Potter' Series. Rowling, the British author, made a landmark contribution in the fantasy world by creating the world called Hogwarts. Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels all equally significant. The series stands at a higher position as one of the most translated books.


With the debut novel titled 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone', Rowling made a humble emergence of Harry Potter, a young wizard who discovers his magical heritage in his first year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His journey started as 'the boy who survived' and progressed with learning magic, engaging in various tasks, discovering secrets, developing friendship, looking for 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named' in order to put an end to evil crimes. Seven books in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling have broken sales records worldwide. They have been adapted as films that have also attracted millions of fans, and the Harry Potter brand has been a hallmark since the beginning of the new millennium.
