Each novel follows a mystery format where Harry encounters various problems at school while trying to solve a larger mystery, typically dealing with Voldemort.

    Structure and genre [edit | edit source]
    Harry Potter's novels fall into the genre of fantasy literature, however,
    in many ways these novels can also be categorized as bildungsromans,
    or transition-age novels, [34] and also contain elements such as
    mystery, adventure, thriller, and romance. Harry Potter is considered
    part of the story of British boarding schools in England, just like Stalky
    & Co. Rudyard Kipling, his Malory Towers Enid Blyton, St. Clare and
    Naughtiest Girl, and Billy Bunter by Frank Richards. Harry Potter's
    novels are set in place at Hogwarts, a fiction boarding school for
    witches in England, with a curriculum that teaches about witchcraft
    education. [35] Indirectly, Harry Potter is influenced by Tom Brown's
    School Days by Thomas Hughes and other Victorian and Edwardian
    novels that tell of life in British public schools. [36] [37] According to
    Stephen King, Harry Potter is an "ingenious mystery story", [38] and
    each novel is developed with the mystery approach of Sherlock
    Holmes-style adventure. Stories are narrated from the perspective of
    a single third person, except in a few chapters (eg in the first chapter
    of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Goblet of Fire, and the first
    two chapters of the Half-Blood Prince).

    In the midst of the story in each novel, Harry encounters various


    problems and violates various school rules while working to solve the
    problem. If any students are caught violating school rules, then they
    will be punished by professor Hogwarts. The use of this punishment is
    often encountered in novels with sub-genres of boarding schools. [35]
    However, the story in each novel always reaches its climax in the
    summer, approaching or after the final test, and Harry has to deal
    with Voldemort or one of his Death Eaters, with live and death bets.
    As the series progresses, one or more characters are killed in the last
    four novels. [39] [40] As a result, Harry began to study important
    lessons through his exposition and discuss with his school principal
    and mentor, Albus Dumbledore.

    In the last novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry and his
    friends spend most of their time away from Hogwarts, and just return
    there to confront Voldemort in the final chapters of the novel. [39] To
    complete the bildungsroman format, in this novel Harry began
    growing up, losing the opportunity to live his final year as a student at
    Hogwarts, to act as an adult, and the public in the wizarding world
    dependent on his decision. [41]
