Harry Potter's award-winning wizarding adventures have had an unrivalled impact in popular culture today; indeed, some experts have referred to adults between the ages of roughly 20-30 years old as 'the Harry Potter generation'.
Presented here is a complete and fine and stunning seven volume set of first printings of the deluxe editions, superior to the trade editions, being larger, with quality cloth and gilt lettered covers, the artwork inlaid to the upper panels, silk bookmarks, and all edges finished in gilt. Harry Potter is a series of many genres, including fantasy, bildungsroman, and the British school story (which includes elements of mystery, thriller, adventure, and romance). According to Rowling, the main theme of the books is death – although prejudice, corruption, and madness can be seen as dominant motifs.
