I believe that Mrs. Rowling is a great story-teller. She really has the teenage psyche down in most of her books, from the mood swings, to the camaraderie, and 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. Her genres are based on fantasy and coming of age, the series has many cultural meanings and references. Some of the stories she has written has been influenced by her life also. J.K. Rowling lost her mother, who died of Multiple Sclerosis. J.K. Rowling was very close to her mother, and she felt the loss deeply. Her own loss gave an added poignancy to the death of Harry Potter’s mother in her book. She says her favorite scene in the Philosopher’s Stone is, where Harry sees his parents in the mirror.
