The story of J. K. Rowling is hugely inspiring since her Harry Potter books were seen as a difficult sell to publishers. No one seemed to see the potential in a children's book geared towards adults and it actually took her quite some time to get an agent to champion her work. Not only did the Harry Potter book series become a worldwide success but the film adaptation was another monster success at the box office. The film series helped to make stars out of the cast of characters and it helped to create the amusement parks that further brought the world of Harry Potter to life.
People have become utterly obsessed with all of the characters and the storyline of Harry Potter. It is seen as much more than just a story about a young boy that is meant for greater things and everyone seems to have their own favorite characters and films in the series. While young children can fantasize about living in a world with magic wands and flying on broomsticks, adults can see the bigger picture in the plot with the good against evil storyline. Whether you're a fan of the books, movies or just the characters themselves, test your knowledge and see how well you know the Harry Potter franchise.
