Harry is a hero because he loves others, even willing to accept death to save them; Voldemort is a villain because he does not. [41] Harry carries the protection of his mother's sacrifice in his blood; Voldemort, who wants Harry's blood and the protection it carries, does not understand that love vanquishes death. [27] In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games bring the first four stories (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) to life in glorious LEGO style. The story begins on the front step of Privet Drive and ends with the final events of the Triwizard Tournament, stopping along the way at iconic locations such as Diagon Alley, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the Forbidden Forest, The Burrow and the village of Hogsmeade. Of course, it goes without saying that you'll be spending most of your time in the hallowed halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In fact, Hogwarts itself stands out as the most expansive environment in LEGO game history.

Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter also contains Christian symbolism and allegory. The series has been viewed as a Christian moral fable in the psychomachia tradition, in which stand-ins for good and evil fight for supremacy over a person's soul. [26] Children's literature critic Joy Farmer sees parallels between Harry and Jesus Christ. [27] Comparing Rowling with Lewis, she argues that "magic is both authors' way of talking about spiritual reality". [28] According to Maria Nikolajeva, Christian imagery is particularly strong in the final scenes of the series: Harry dies in self-sacrifice and Voldemort delivers an " ecce homo" speech, after which Harry is resurrected and defeats his enemy.

In the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry lives in a cupboard under the stairs in the house of the Dursleys, his aunt, uncle and cousin, who all treat him poorly. At the age of 11, Harry discovers that he is a wizard. He meets a half-giant named Hagrid who invites him to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry learns that his parents, Lily and James Potter, also had magical powers, and were murdered by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort when Harry was a baby. When Voldemort attempted to kill Harry, his curse rebounded, seemingly killing Voldemort, and Harry survived with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. The event made Harry famous among the community of wizards and witches. Coming Sooner: Harry Potter Changes Release Date". TV Guide. Archived from the original on 18 April 2009 .

Research by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has found no increase in reading among children coinciding with the Harry Potter publishing phenomenon, nor has the broader downward trend in reading among Americans been arrested during the rise in the popularity of the Harry Potter books. [190] [191] The research also found that children who read Harry Potter books were not more likely to go on to read outside the fantasy and mystery genres. [190] NEA chairman Dana Gioia said the series, "got millions of kids to read a long and reasonably complex series of books. The trouble is that one Harry Potter novel every few years is not enough to reverse the decline in reading." [192]
