In interview, Rowling has stressed that these two quotations 'sum up – they almost epitomize the whole series'. Deathly Hallowswas the series finale, but Rowling had many other responsibilities to fulfill besides writing: being a mother to three children, giving interviews, overseeing the Harry Potter movies, and running her charities, to name only a few. I also wrote the screenplay for the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was a very different process and experience to writing a novel. The Washington Post book critic Ron Charles opined in July 2007 that "through no fault of Rowling's", the cultural and marketing "hysteria" marked by the publication of the later books "trains children and adults to expect the roar of the coliseum, a mass-media experience that no other novel can possibly provide".

I had been writing Harry for 10 years come 2000 and that was the first time I ever thought, Oh God, I don’t want to keep going. In 2001, she released Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (a purported Hogwarts textbook) and Quidditch Through the Ages (a book Harry reads for fun). Jennifer Conn used Snape's and Quidditch coach Madam Hooch's teaching methods as examples of what to avoid and what to emulate in clinical teaching, [194] and Joyce Fields wrote that the books illustrate four of the five main topics in a typical first-year sociology class: "sociological concepts including culture, society, and socialisation; stratification and social inequality; social institutions; and social theory".

Their names are often onomatopoeic [ clarification needed]: Malfoy is difficult, Filch unpleasant and Lupin a werewolf.

Due to the appeal of the books among an adult audience, Bloomsbury commissioned a second line of editions in an 'adult' style. Rowling also wrote an 800-word prequel in 2008 as part of a fundraiser organised by the bookseller Waterstones.Two years later the play transferred to Broadway, and in 2018 it won six Tony Awards, including best new play. Students are attacked and petrified by an unknown creature; wizards of Muggle parentage are the primary targets. The Harry Potter series has been recognised by a host of awards since the initial publication of Philosopher's Stone including a platinum award from the Whitaker Gold and Platinum Book Awards ( 2001), [200] [201] three Nestlé Smarties Book Prizes (1997–1999), [202] two Scottish Arts Council Book Awards (1999 and 2001), [203] the inaugural Whitbread children's book of the year award (1999), [204] the WHSmith book of the year (2006), [205] among others. I know that I am anticipating what the style of the latest book will be in advance of actually seeing it, but really, I don't think I'm going out on a limb here. Yates was selected to direct Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which was released on 15 July 2009.
