It’s basically “impossible” to understand the nature of an unbelievable success such as Harry Potter, at least at first glance. A once utterly unknown teacher, and an unemployed one living off of welfare at that, rose literally overnight out of the ashes like a phoenix, to become the world’s highest-paid child / youth author.
But this phenomenon was not unprecedented. In German literature, this first occurred in the 17th century, when the Grimm brothers systematically compiled fairy tales, enthralling readers and starting a huge boom in reading that is basically still in existence today. Walt Disney bought the rights to film many of these fairy tales, and was able to book global successes, for instance, with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Cinderella. All this taking place three hundred years after the death of the two brothers.
Many other illustrious individuals are worthy of note when discussing global successes in the children and youth book genres. Take Hans Christian Anderson, a Danish author, who lived 1805 - 1875 and whose books are still being read today in all of Europe and America. The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, made into a motion picture by star-director Bernd Echinger, also needs to be mentioned, as does Karl-May who, despite having never visited the United States or Arabia, wrote more than seventy volumes about these two places that continue to offer thrills for today’s youth. Where would we be without Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kaestner, without Pippi Longstockings or without Charlotte’s Web or Stuart Little by E.B. White, Judy Blume’s Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, or the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini?
The success of fairy tales can be understood and traced. Looking at it from a strictly success-oriented point of view, fairy tales represent the narratives handed down by a people over hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years. Of course, only the best stories survived. In other words: fairy tales already represent a selection of the best stories of the past; they have already been filtered out, they have already made it.
Fairy tales relate to the successes of yesterday; their global success is understandable.
However, nothing is more successful than success itself. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel when focusing on the success of fairy tales. But, in some ways, many children’s and youth books of today are successes solely in their own regard. How come? Erich Kaestner began a revolution by letting children take on the role of heroes and introducing the elements of murder mysteries into youth literature. The murder mystery as a genre had already stood its test of time, as well; this was also an “old” success, if you will.
Michael Ende’s Neverending Story brought magical qualities to the forefront. He, too, cleverly tied in old, forgotten elements of fairy tales and legendary abilities.
But Harry Potter, what about Harry Potter?
