“Fame is a fickle friend, Harry”, a quote from JK Rowling in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In this quote, Rowling eludes the idea that fame is volatile, that it can deteriorate in a second. She recognizes this and remains humble about her fame, using it in a way that betters the community rather than herself. Throughout her works, she presents a set of morals about fame that the beloved character of Harry Potter is endowed with, while creating a sense of contempt towards fame itself. The set of morals presented is one that is representative of her, reflecting what she has learned to value as she goes from a destitute single mother to one of the richest and most renowned people in the world. The characteristics of Harry and her other characters, as well as the aura of fame inherent in her books, parallel Rowling's own traits. This will be illustrated by examples in the books as well as events from her own life, thus proving that she is writing allegorically in a way that describes her own sense of humility and contempt for glory. In order to prove that Rowling is in fact creating a body of work that aligns with her own beliefs in the sense of modesty as well as discomfort with fame, there must first be a critical conversation presented to show that there is a discussion among professionals around the idea that Rowling did this. Next, research will be presented showing the nature of humility she has towards fame. We will then carry out a literary analysis of her works, which will include the Harry Potter series and The Cuckoo's Calling, which can then be used to illustrate the parallels between her and her works. Critics of Rowling's The Cuckoo's Calling seem to be consumed by the idea. which she wrote in the middle of paper......holastic, 2007. Print.Rowling, JK. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
