HARRY POTTER BY J.K. ROWLING: THE DEVELOPMENTAL
POTENTIAL OF DIDACTIC INTERPRETATION


SUMMARY:

The article is concerned with the novel series about Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling in terms of its influencing the formation and development of a high school reader’s personality. The purpose of the article is to carry out a didactic interpretation of the novel series in order to determine the personality developing potential of the picture of the world and the concept of man, created by the writer; to determine the significance of the meanings found in the process of interpretation of the influence on the axiological sphere of a modern person; to comprehend the saga as a programme for a young person, training for the tasks and challenges of the modern world, related to the need for lifelong learning and development in order to harmonize individual and general existence. While carrying out the interdisciplinary research, humanitarian according to its formal and substantive features, we used general scientific theoretical methods of studying literary sources, description, analysis, synthesis, interpretation; pedagogical and methodological methods of Педагогіка – Education Science and Education, 2019, Issue 4 40 observation, as well as education and training by means of art; literary methods, in particular hermeneutic, cultural-historical, comparative-historical. The didactic interpretation of the article shows that life emerges in the space of the novel series about Harry Potter as a super-complex spiritual and intellectual riddle that can only be solved through the best efforts of the mind and heart, working tirelessly with all other people, each time taking on a new level of awareness of the tasks and the possibilities of solving them. That is, life requires constant personal development, and complete self-realization of a person, which introduces him or her into the space of history, leads to the harmonization of personal and general being. Only in the path of personal development and creative existence in the space of history can we build an algorithm of actions that can lead to a miracle - ordinary human happiness, which is based on love and therefore opens new horizons of being.
