It's the end Surbhi, and quite a nice ending too if I might add. To answer your question, I think that Harry Potter is so popular because it is interesting. It deals with a topic that many kids just love, and dream about. I don't know about you, but I wish I had magic powers, and so do many other people in our world. This makes the book very popular because it brings to life a fantasy. Also, the book is funny. In chapter 17, Dumbledore says, "What happened in the dungeon between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret. So, naturally, the whole school knows." I also feel that the idea of gossip like Dumbledore is talking about makes the whole magic matter seem more real because gossip is a huge part of children's lives, and ours too.
Because this is the last post about the challenged Harry Potter, I feel that I should finish off about why it should be banned. I've been collecting quotes to be able to do this post! For one, it teaches loyalty. Hagrid is crazy loyal toward James and Lilly Potter, also Dumbeldore. In chapter four, a quote says, "If he wants ter go, a great Muggle l ike you won't stop him," growled Hagrid. "Stop Lily an' James Potter's son goin' ter Hogwarts! Yer mad. His name's been down ever since he was born." Also, the book teaches courage. In chapter 13, a quote says "You've got to stand up to him, Nevile!" said Ron. "He's used to walking all over people, but that's no reason to lie down in front of him and make it easier." What Ron is trying to do here is make Nevile stand up for himself. This is something that everyone needs to do, and is a great life lesson. Well Surbhi, this is the end of my post. I'm really looking forward to reading the Hunger Games, it looks great.
