NOTE ON THE HARRY POTTER SERIES AND
THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES;
TWO MAJOR MILESTONES OF LITERATURE
There is a multitude of a ways people can entertain
themselves. And every single one of those ways has a way to
impact and change that person; his views, ethics and beliefs.
One of the oldest ways in which man has known and felt
wisdom and entertainment is through words. Make real
words that give life to yarn and fantasy, words sewn
meticulously intertwining in our minds to build castles of
sand, such a beautiful escape. Literature thus used to
entertain the masses is called popular literature. It is artistic
in the sense that it creates an imaginative wonderland to the
reader, his senses burning from the swish and swirl of
carefully placed words, but not artistic in its truest literary
sense. Cassandra Claire, Elisabetta Dami, Ernest Hemingway,
Salman Rushdie and many more authors have produced
gems of a book into the alcoves of popular literature. But two
books in particular are eternal classics and will be
remembered for many generations – Harry Potter and The
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
J.K Rowling is the author who wrote the most successful book
franchise in history, the Harry Potter series. Her success is
unparalleled as she went on to become the first author to
amass a net worth of a billion dollars. She was born on 31 st
