  Abstract


This paper investigates the construction of adulthood in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and reimagines it through the theoretical lens of crossover fiction. While the series functions as a classic bildungsroman, tracing Harry's growth from childhood to adulthood, this study interrogates how notions of adulthood shift when juxtaposed with other fictional universes such as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and The Hunger Games. Drawing on psychosocial theories (Erikson, Arnett), performativity (Butler), and fan studies (Jenkins, Busse), this paper argues that crossover fiction provides a unique space for challenging and rearticulating the meaning of adulthood. By situating Harry's journey within alternate moral and cultural frameworks, this study reveals adulthood as a dynamic, relational, and performative construct rather than a fixed endpoint. Ultimately, it proposes that adulthood in literature and popular culture is an evolving, context-dependent process that resists simplistic narrative closure.
