摘　　要：随着《哈利·波特》成为现象级的文化产品,学界更多地关注作品的文化意义而在一定程度上忽略其作为儿童文学读物的审美内涵。这一系列小说之所以深受儿童读者的欢迎是因为作品本身具备西方儿童幻想小说的文学经典性和美学特质。小说在场景设计、结构安排、人物塑造等方面使用的夸张,讽刺和对比等艺术手法造就了庄谐并重的游戏精神:通过对儿童幻想和儿童幽默的审美创造,再现了游戏般自由、快乐、昂扬而且充满想象力和创造力的儿童生命状态,直接作用于儿童读者的阅读体验与审美感受。As Harry Potter emerges as a phenomenal cultural product, critics tend to interpret its cultural meanings while, to some extent, ignoring the aesthetic dimension of the stories as children’s book. Its great popularity among young readers should be attributed to the aesthetic qualities of western children’s fantasy literary classic per se. The literary devices such as hyperbole, irony and oxymoron have been employed in terms of setting, plot and characterization of the stories, thus bringing up the game spirit which is both playful and serious： the aesthetic creations of children’s fantasy and humor in Harry Potter series represent children’s real life which goes as free, animating, imaginative and creative as their game play, and therefore exert a direct and exalting influence upon young readers’ reading experience and aesthetic feelings.
