The Harry Potter books are one of the most read series of our century written by the author J. K. Rowling. Despite the fact that this book is considered to belong to children\u2019s literature it amuses the minds of people of all ages. It seems that the story of a boy who lived managed to overcome even classic literature in the past decades. It made some children take a break from computers and start reading again. Nevertheless, not all critics are so optimistic about this piece of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Peter Hunt, a popular British scholar, and literary critic was the first in the UK who treated children\u2019s books as a subject of research and academic study (Wikipedia). In Hunt\u2019s essay Instruction and Delight contemplating on the Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/em> novel he indicates that all the children\u2019s literature is naturally didactic because the writers can\u2019t avoid expressing their views and opinions in their writing \u201cmanipulatively or not\u201d (Hunt, \u201cInstruction and Delight\u201d 15). I guess that Peter Hunt is afraid that children are not able to see the world just as it is, after reading they see it as the author does, losing their own opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his book Children\u2019s Literature<\/em>, he claims that Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/em> book is \u201camong the most complained about, on the grounds that they make witchcraft seem admirable\u201d (Hunt, \u201cChildren\u2019s Literature\u201d 34). In the same book, Hunt mentions that the J. K. Rowling\u2019s Harry Potter books headed the list of the challenged books \u201con the grounds of offensive language and unsuitability for the readership age-group\u201d (Hunt, \u201cChildren\u2019s Literature\u201d 256). And I quite agree with him in this point as the author creates the atmosphere of a reality today\u2019s world of children where there are rude words, mean behavior and even violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in conclusion, I\u2019d like to say that Peter Hunt\u2019s claims in relation to Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/em> are quite relevant. I\u2019d like to specify that all the books are somehow didactic and many of them contain offensive language. Thus from my point of view Hunt\u2019s words can\u2019t be called claims, more the facts about this book. I guess that if J. K. Rowling had rewritten the book having taken into account Peter Hunt\u2019s thoughts and changed it Harry Potter series would have had far fewer readers than it has now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
