Since 1997, British woman writer Rowling launched the first Harry Potter novel series —— 《Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone》, the novel immediately swept the world and became the focus of global attention. Over the next decade, Ms.Rowling wrote seven of the Harry Potter novels and conquered countless readers of all ages around the world. The series of novels have been translated into more than 60 languages and have sold more than 200 million copies, creating a myth in the history of publishing. The novel shows the reader a strange, magical and magical world. Take Harry Potter's annual learning activities at the wizardry school as a time clue. It tells the story of the hero's fantasy adventure journey and rich social life.

As a successful fairy tale, Harry Potter is a novel showing readers a colorful fairy tale world. Such a fantasy world makes all the dreams that are hard to achieve in the real world come true. The unique fairy tale of the novel has become an important factor in attracting young readers. The interesting fairy tale nature of the story is first reflected in Ms.Rowling's weaving of fairy tale scenes and the shaping of fairy tales. In the author's pen, the first is a mysterious magical world. There are witches and women who can ride across the sky on various magic. It has a fantastic magic school and magical magic lessons. There are old magical legends. There are also magical creatures in the real world that people only know, such as the beautiful white unicorn. The aggressive dragon, the three-headed dog guarding the trapdoor, the mermaid and so on. Ms.Rowling's construction of the whole fairy tale, from the macro magical world and even the micro fantasy things. It is completely in line with the children's romantic fantasy of the great dry world. They are also eager to put on the invisibility cloak to explore the unknown world. Also eager to ride an eagle head horse body winged beast to soar in the sky, more eager to receive a letter from the owl. Start an adventure and fantasy journey. Although the magical world is a magical dream for children, but. In such a world, the shadow of reality can also be found at any time, and the novel itself also has a profound reality. The concrete embodiment of the realism in the novel is the realism of the scene. Harry, as the protagonist of the novel, is a symbol of a hero, but Ms.Rowling does not portray Harry as an omnipotent, god-like hero. Through the different scenarios. Ms.Rolling shows some of Harry's weaknesses in his own tone and ideas, such as: Harry doesn't like to study and sometimes gets lazy, since Harry has problems as a growing child. Entering adolescence, Harry has a good impression for Qiu Zhang, and Hermione's love for Ron, which is also the process that children will go through in adolescence. Harry's commonality in the novel is consistent with children in the real world, which is an important factor in the Harry Potter series attracting tens of thousands of readers around the world. Through the shaping of the scenes, the novel embodies the human type, namely the common human nature.

In this magical world, there are not just witches, magical creatures and magic. The design of the whole world. It also makes people feel as if they're in the real world again. It is through the aspect of family affection, friendship and love that the novel makes the magical world more human, and makes readers resonate with it. Such a sense of reality shows its educational significance. The realism of the novel is also reflected through the ideas conveyed in the Harry Potter series. It reflects Ms.Rowling's thinking about the real society. The novel divides the magicians represented by the Malfo family into pure-breed sorcerers, who have a high sense of superiority. So he looked down on witches like Hermione who are not from a magical family. And mocked him as a "mud blood".(Dahlen et al,2022) Even in the wizarding world, they will be treated unfairly because of their inferiority, and no matter how hard and how good Hermione is, they will still be scorned by purebred witches. The purpose of the dark magic world built by Voldemort is mainly to keep the pure witches and brutally kill those non-pure witches. On the contrary, the magical world represented by Principal Dumbledore and Harry, who believe that birth is not important, the most important is personal effort. These are two ideological opposition to the question of origin. In the final battle, Harry's side won a complete victory, and Voldemort's power collapsed, which also indicates the novel's view that the unequal treatment still exists in the real society. This is undoubtedly a progressive idea. In today's society, the problem of racial discrimination has eased somewhat. In the 1990s, Rowling experienced the death of her mother's illness, a broken marriage, poverty, and overnight fame. I have an unforgettable understanding of the real society and a series of social problems. It makes her have some rebellious psychology to modern civilization, so the novel Harry Potter is filled with the mysterious atmosphere of returning to the true nature and returning to the primitive doctrine. The Harry Potter series of novels absorb the essence of western classic literary works, and create a beautiful and dreamy fairy tale world for readers in the perfect integration of fairy tales and reality. It also shows the profound reality that the novel wants to reflect and the educational significance of the story theme.
