Nel mondo della letteratura per bambini molti sono i libri ad aver raggiunto un grande successo, tanto da diventare dei best seller. Tra di essi, è di notevole importanza la saga della scrittrice inglese J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter, che ha contribuito a cambiare il panorama socio-culturale globale, tanto da essere considerata un vero e proprio fenomeno. La saga non ha avuto un forte impatto solo nel mondo della letteratura, ma anche in quello del marketing, del cinema e del turismo. È interessante come la scrittrice sia riuscita, all’interno di una storia fantasy, ad introdurre e trattare tematiche delicate e attuali quali il razzismo, la schiavitù, la disparità di genere, i disturbi psichici e la disabilità.
