J. K. Rowling's The Harry Potter Series was both popular and controversial. The series was popular among children, in particular and adults,in general. But, some orthodox people denounced the series as anti-religious because of its magical setting. They accused it of promoting black-magic.
I read the series as a child when it first got published and as an adult, when
it sadly (as it got finished) and wonderfully (as the ending was amazing) ended. As a child, I was thrilled by the magical world of the series. And as an adult, I took refuge in this world from the realities of life. But, I knew that this magical world is a reflection of real world.

From moral point of view, the series is a story of the conflict between good and evil. And from political point of view, it is a story of the conflict between powerless and powerful. Rowling's series carries all these meanings and more under the cover of a magical world for children.
So, I think that The Harry Potter Series, by J. K. Rowling, represents our world on its pages by creating a fantastical world.
