The professors play a major role on the influence on the characters too because of how the children see them out to be. Many characters throughout the book used their magic as an advantage over others because they were better at certain things. The society in Hogwarts has a big influence on the characters. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is a story based in a modern time Surrey, England and at the Hogwarts Wizardry Academy. Harry is in a way reborn and is shown the life that his parents left behind for him in Hogwarts. The significance of the opening began Harry’s life as a wizard and to show him what his really is and not what his aunt and uncle wanted him to be. Ten years then pass and Harry is presented with a letter of acceptance into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. “The last four books consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history, with the final instalment selling roughly eleven million copies in the United States within twenty-four hours of its release.” In the opening scene, Voldemort is introduced and the killing of Harry’s parents happen.

“Being the best-selling book series in history definitely adds to its historical significance, selling more than 500 million copies worldwide.” Also adding to that, it was translated into eighty languages. It opens up a whole new world for them and makes it enjoyable to read. The literary significance of not only Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone but also the rest of the series that Rowling has written is that it captures the reader’s attention, more specifically younger readers. Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone was quickly published in 1997. Over the course of five years she planned out the book series. Rowling came up with the idea of Harry Potter. In 1990, while delayed on a train to London, J. Before even reading that book, you’ll know what it is going to be based on or about.
Rowling each have a significance although they all start with ‘Harry Potter’. All the books that have been written by J. Which then leads to the conflicts of the characters, both internal and external. The plot is always impor because without it, you will never know what’s going on in the book. In any book I feel like the plot is the most important. The setting of the book is one of the key points to understanding the story. Rowling uses many elements such as setting, plot, conflicts, theme, etc.
Literary elements are shown all throughout the book. I wondered what Harry’s life would’ve been like if his parents were alive. A lot of what ifs went through my mind while reading. I would also ask why she made Harry’s aunt and uncle the way they were and why they hated Harry and magic. Rowling, I would ask her what influenced her to even begin writing the famous Harry Potter novels. I was inspired to make a new friend because when you first meet someone you probably won’t like them but when you’re in a different situation you could learn that they aren’t really as bad as you thought they were like Harry and Ron thought of Hermione. I see myself in the book through Hermione and Harry because they are both selfless when it comes to other people and I feel like when it comes to others, I try my best in everything to make sure that they are always out of harm’s way. Harry and his friends used teamwork to defeat a lot of their obstacles that they faced whether it was alone at first or together. Lessons such as teamwork really does make the dream work.
The outcome made me think about life and opened my eyes to greater lessons. At the end of the book I thought that Harry has the potential to be a great wizard and with the help that he has been getting, he will be one. He is surprised to hear the story behind his father and professor Snape and what professor Snape’s true intentions were from what Harry saw him as. He also learned a lot about his peers and professors. Immediately after reading the book, I thought that throughout the short time that Harry has been in Hogwarts, he has learned a lot about himself like why he has that scar on his forehead and being a wizard.
