Friendship And Love In The Story Of Hogwarts By Harry Potter

Decent Essays
For Harry Potter, life has never been normal. Experiencing a normal life was something that Harry would never experience. Growing up in a home without real parents and people who do not care about your well being is something that can and will psychologically scar and hurt you. As a human being our thoughts and upbringing set oneself up for the rest of life and the way it will be perceived. In harry 's case, this has been incredibly and unfortunately screwed up.

Many times in literature and much of fiction, we see a trend of main characters whom have abandoned or dead parents. This idea of growing up with no one to be taught by and to teach the lessons of life is found in many characters who turn out to be the hero in the eyes of the reader.

This relationship is defined from the first chapter. We know that voldemort killed harry 's parents and the readers hatred for him grows every time his name is spoken. As harry learns more about voldemort, he knows he must do something to forever end his actions. Meeting voldemort in the end gives harry so much pain that he can not bare it and faints. This correlation to life is so strong in this ending. Life has many horrible things that are terrifying. Sometimes in life, we fall and are beaten down, harry wakes up and heals and sets his mind to destroying voldemort once and for all. The same mindset is set to life and being knocked down only means we get back up swinging harder. The strong contrast between evil and good is prevalent throughout and it is only seen in its true form when voldemort is revealed evil can appear in many forms but it has a root and in this story that root is voldemort

    For example, Harry is raised by his Aunt and Uncle Dursley, and life with them is absolutely abhorrent. He is treated like he doesn’t exist, he is given all of the chores to complete, and he never gets a birthday present for his birthday. The first eleven years of his life are that of slavery and oppression, mixed in with a good dose of character-building activities. On his twelfth birthday, he gets the shock of his life; he has been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As Hagrid would say it, “You’re a wizard…

    Hogwarts was Harry Potter’s Delusion: There is a theory that Harry Potter’s wonderful idealistic adventures in Hogwarts were a delusion he created for himself in reaction to the Verbal and Physical abuse. For starters, Harry's magic fantasies begin when, in real life, he's about to begin school at Stonewall High, being separated from his abusive cousin for the first time. It's a new school, a new environment, and therefore the perfect time to begin his delusions. First creation: Hagrid. Hagrid is so obviously a projection of Harry's impression of his Uncle Vernon, the only father figure in his life.…

    Individuals carry a great responsibility as they start to expand their families and become parents. Parents are expected to instill morals, guide children through the early stages of life, befriend their children, and support their children through the rollercoaster of life.

In Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel Frankenstein, Shelley examines parent-child conflicts relationships, between both the Frankenstein family and between Victor Frankenstein and the Creature to illustrate the struggles of living with a distant and uninvolved parent can inflict on an individual.

    Ordinary World Harry Potter’s ordinary world is his home of number four Privet Drive with the Dursleys. When he crosses the threshold into the wizarding world, the contrasts between the two realms are drastic. “It’s a good idea for writers to make the Ordinary World as different as possible from the Special World, so audience and hero will experience a dramatic change when the threshold is finally crossed”, and it is (Vogler 87). Privet Drive was a dull and miserable existence for Harry. He was without friends, was shown no love, was given little to eat, and he experienced very little happiness throughout his time there.…

    There is also an evil very powerful man named Voldemort, who killed Harry’s parents and essentially wants all good wizard’s and witches dead. In this world they believe that there is good and bad, unlike my worldview, but the good is able to kill only if they kill a bad guy, while I believe that it is bad to kill anyone no matter what they have done. Harry learned that his parents were good, which made him want to be good as well. Hagrid was the one who told Harry everything there was about his parents, and I believe that this is what made Harry who he is because he wanted to live like his parents did, and eventually wanted to kill the evil man that killed his parents,…

    “The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it 's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship”-Ralph Waldo Emerson. In the story Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone by Jk Rowling, many friendships are woven together to tell an amazing tale of intrigue and adventure. Three specific friendships define the novel and are developed through the characters: Harry Potter, an abandoned young orphan; Ron Weasley, an adventure bound young man; and Hermione Granger, a studious and clever young woman. Throughout the friendship, each of the three portray their own individualized strengths: Harry…

    In Harry Potter, a seven book series written by J.K. Rowling, Harry and all of the people around him face challenges stemming from Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore is correct when saying that it is “a great and remarkable thing” that Harry can still love because the multitude of battles he endures makes it difficult for him to feel anything but anger and sadness (Rowling 508-509). Throughout each novel, there is a significant challenge that Harry and those close to him have to overcome. While these issues cause severe turmoil and pain for everyone, the strong love they all have for one another, enables them to fight and survive which is a key aspect that Rowling relies on. Despite the books having a strong reliance on one’s morals, love and bravery,…
