PRACTICE

While noting the prevalent view that Harry Potter catalysed this change, the critic Rachel Falconer also credits socio-economic factors. In her view, Rowling's success is part of "a larger cultural change in contemporary Western society which accords greater weight and value to the signifier, the 'child', than in previous decades".

In Heilman 2008. One of the major features of Rowling’s prose is that it is rhythmic not only through sounds but also through its impacts. On the one hand, it is whimsical, while on the other, it is rhythmic with a flow. The wit and humor that it reflects is subjective, the reason that it seeps into her active sentence style. Besides this, she uses consonants and vowels at intervals creating alliterations and other sound devices so that its melody should continue moving with the flow of the language. This passage from Harry Potter and Sorcerer’s Stone shows both of these features. This passage shows the alliteration “food fade from” and the use of /c/, /s/ and /r/ at regular intervals, making it rhythmic in reading. Hensher, Philip (25 January 2000).

After university, Rowling moved to a flat in Clapham Junction with friends, [78] and took a course to become a bilingual secretary. [10] While she was working temp jobs in London, Amnesty International hired her to document human rights issues in French-speaking Africa. [79] She began writing adult novels while working as a temp, although they were never published. [11] [80] In 1990, she planned to move with her boyfriend to Manchester, [16] and frequently took long train trips to visit. [40] In mid-1990, she was on a train delayed by four hours from Manchester to London, [81] when the characters Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger came plainly into her mind. [82] Having no pen or paper allowed her to fully explore the characters and their story in her imagination before she reached her flat and began to write. [81] Kirk 2003, p. 33. The years of British secondary school are equivalent to the United States grades of 6–12; Kirk compares them to the seven years of the books in the Harry Potter series.
