The Harry Potter collection includes seven novels written by British author JK Rowling. The first novel was published in 1997, and the series has since inspired movie adaptations and even a theme park. The genius of the Harry Potter series is that it crosses boundaries of age and genre. Though the Harry Potter books are clearly fantasy, they also relate a compelling coming-of-age story. Meanwhile, they appeal to people young and old. The magic and ingenuity of these books resulted in record-breaking sales for the last four books in the series. Harry Potter books will surely remain collectors’ favorites for generations to come.
