Since the 30 June 1997 release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide. As of June 2011, the book series has sold about 450 million copies and has been translated into 67 languages and the last four books consecutively set records as the fastest selling books in history.
A series of many genres including fantasy and coming of age (with elements of mystery thriller. adventure and romance), it has many cultural meanings and references. There are also many other themes including love and prejudice.
The books have been made into an eight-part film series by Warner Bros. Pictures, with the seventh book split in two parts; it is the highest grossing film series of all time

Due to the novels success and it being well known, could this be the reason why it was converted into a film?
Seeing as the context of the novel was very interesting and it had so many genres that it could relate to attracting a mass audience it was a good book to turn into a film. Also being produced by the Warner Bros allowed the film to gain much popularity and attention in the beginning as Warner Bros are one of the major production companies in the industry.
