LINGUOCULTURAL ASPECT IN THE CREATION OF WIZARD WORLD BY J.K. ROWLING

Abstract

One linguistic and cultural aspect in the creation of the Wizarding World by J.K. Rowling is the use of a unique and distinct magical language, such as spells, incantations, and magical creatures' names. Rowling created a whole new vocabulary for the wizarding world, drawing inspiration from Latin, Greek, and other languages to give her magical language a sense of depth and authenticity.Another aspect is the incorporation of various cultural references and traditions into the wizarding world. Rowling drew on British folklore, mythology, and history to create a rich and immersive magical world that feels familiar yet fantastical. The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, for example, is reminiscent of traditional British boarding schools, but with a magical twist.
