Abstract
The Harry Potter series is a masterpiece of magic literature produced by J.K.Rowling, an English female writer, at the turn of the century over a decade. These books have raised a reading surge among universal readers. So what peculiar attributes have contributed to such appealing and summoning power of this series that it has sold over 400mn volumes, reached hundreds of billions in its marker chain value, and created a whole range of related products and consumption?
This paper starts from the previous research of Harry Potter, and after knowing that most of the previous researches are mostly from the perspectives of heroism, feminism or myth implications, or focus on its success marketing. This paper chooses a different facet of this book by acknowledging that J.K.Rowling is an English writer and is deeply influenced by British culture. This paper tries to detect the application of British humor in these books and analyze how those applications have drawn the interests of readers.
This paper is not only an supplement to the Harry Potter analyzing literature, but also an newly opened window in the research of this series.
