The Themes, Inluences, and Artistic style of J.K. Rowling


Joanne Rowling is a marvelous writer.The idea for Harry Potter came to Rowling on the train from to London, where she says Harry Potter "just strolled into my head fully formed", and by the time she had arrived at King's Cross, many of the characters had taken shape. JK Rowling had many influences such as Jane Austen - Rowling's all time favourite. Also writer Paul Gallico - writer of Manxmouse. And C.S. Lewis writer of the Narnia Chronicles Noel Streatfield. Ms. Rowling branching into another genre and writing other books. She includes characterizations and emotions in all her novels. She really has the teenage psyche down in her books - from the mood swings, to the hormones. She also has mastered the art of surprising her reader - sometimes even with an event the reader had anticipated. I felt I could see and feel the setting and emotions of her characters. Her style of writing and ability to draw emotions from her audience has improved with each book.
