Today, with the increase in technology, the literature we read is not up to the standards established years ago. This is for many reasons. Most people cannot easily read high language using critical theories and devices. Now there are many more things being published after the printing press was invented. This has caused a drastic trail that great literature has left behind. Now many of the most popular books are of a simple idea and the author needs no skill to succeed.

Elaborate descriptions and not intellectual depth was the reason each book in the series ran for over seven hundred pages. Children are raised in a modern age where they practically learn to read from Harry Potter. Another reason Harry Potter was so successful was JK Rowling’s use of religion and the natural to incite people around the world. The world Rowling creates is fictional, but it is set on the same planet we all live on.

The natural emotions that humans feel were also present. This allowed the reader to relate to the natural settings of a world full of wizards. Those were the people prompted for positive reasons by Harry Potter. Some people had a completely different reading of Harry Potter, that JK Rowling was anti-Christian and trying to brainwash the youth. A person would have to read Harry Potter as a non-fictional retelling of the story to believe something so stupid. This is clearly not the case, but the national news was made time and time again about parents or churches banning their children from reading Harry Potter. Perhaps JK Rowling took note of what Sprat said long before. She knew how to create a logical work for the easy and sensitive delight of the reader.
