All thanks to a series of best-selling books about the adventures of a teenage wizard and his friends, as well as blockbuster movies adapting the events presented in the novels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">It all started in 1995, when a young mother and her daughter were waiting for a delayed train&#8230; It was exactly at that moment when the first outlines of the core characters of Harry, Ron and Hermione were created, as well as the main plots of the first book: Harry Potter and the Philosopher&#8217;s Stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Later, J. K. Rowling liked to hang out at The Elephant House in Edinburgh, where she divided her time between postgraduate studies and writing the next chapters of Harry Potter\u2019s adventures. In total, between 1997 &#8211; 2007, seven volumes of the novel were published, and in the years 2001 &#8211; 2011, 8 film adaptations were produced by Warner Bros. Pictures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The saga has been translated into 80 different languages, and \u201cpottermania\u201d has reached millions of children, teenagers and adults around the world. The Harry Potter books and movies have become a worldwide phenomenon and one of the largest and most lucrative brands ever created.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The question is, what is the <\/span><b>impact of the teenage wizard book series on learning English?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> It\u2019s huge! The world of Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will engage you in no time! Just read the first few pages or watch the first minutes of the film to get caught up in the addictive action full of adventures, dangers, important life truths and above all&#8230; magic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The author &#8211; J.K. Rowling uses very vibrant and well-thought British English, full of humor and words that she has invented herself to fit into the wizarding world she has created.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Some examples include: Muggles &#8211; the non-magic people; Quidditch &#8211; the magic sport of wizards and many names of magic spells such as: Leviosa, Lumos, Expecto Patronum, etc. The English used in the Harry Potter books takes the reader deeper and deeper into the fantasy world created by the author and makes it difficult to get out of it even for a minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>An engaging book or movie is the perfect way to learn English for both children and adults. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The Harry Potter books and movies are the perfect material for learning a foreign language in a fun and stress-free way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">By reading Harry Potter books in English, you can forget about the existence of time, get carried away by the plot, and learn new words in English, all at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The films about the adventures of Harry Potter will also be good for learning English, because the actors appearing in them, including Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, have a nice and correct British accent that is well worth<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">listening to in order to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">learn good pronunciation in English<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_50eaf5f96595442288ba2ef6c401c8ad\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_50eaf5f96595442288ba2ef6c401c8ad\">\n                All Harry Potter books in English            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The Harry Potter series of books was published in 7 volumes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The first part of the adventures of a little wizard named Harry Potter begins with a chapter entitled &#8220;The Boy Who Lived&#8221;. From the very beginning, we get to know the story, which will be gradually expanded with subsequent books, and the reader will be presented with a more and more complete picture of the events. It is entitled &#8220;Harry Potter and the Philosopher&#8217;s Stone&#8221; was released in 1997.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Fans waited for the last part of the adventures of the teenage wizard until 2007, when the book &#8220;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows&#8221; had its premiere. In the last volume, we tie all the loose ends, and all the facts merge into one coherent whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The reader learns the final fate of the Dark Lord and gets to experience the final glory of their favorite heroic wizards. The adventures of Harry Potter end in the final book with words that beautifully sum up the entire series: &#8220;The scar had not pained Harry for 19 years.
