Harry’s godfather and pure-blood wizard, explains to Harry the reason why most of the black family supported Voldemort. Sirius say, “they thought Voldemort had the right idea...getting rid of Muggle-born and having purebloods in charge”” (Vollmer 3). When Voldemort firsted tried to take over the wizarding. He almost achieved this take over by getting most of the wealthy pureblood wizards to support him.

But after Voldemort 's first “death” the number of pureblood families started to drop. “ Voldemort realizes, like many other wizards, that there are not enough purebloods in existence to purify the Wizarding race”(Vollmer 3). Voldemort gets to this realization after his rebirth. This point is also echoed throughout books 4 and 5.

    Though Harry did not worship magic per se, it was his magical capabilities that allowed him to have a mental link to Voldemort that gave him access to visions, speaking with his dead family, and capabilities such as speaking parseltongue. The visions can be interpreted as divine relations, parseltongues as the ability to perform miracles, and the warnings from dead kin are similar to messengers of the divine -such as the angel Gabriel was for Muhammad. These abilities, allow Harry to be an ethical prophet like Moses. For example, in the Hebrew Bible, Moses was the chosen one to take God’s people out of enslavement in Egypt and lead them to the promised land. Similarly, Harry was chosen to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort and lead the wizarding world to a new age without Death Eaters trying to bring the world into darkness.…

    It is unsurprising for a seasoned author like J.K. Rowling to write an empowering piece; however, what is astonishing is the poignant way in which she delivered the commencement speech to the Harvard graduating class of 2008. Her speech was meant to enlighten the graduates about life after college by focusing on the benefits of failure and the importance of imagination. The commencement speech followed a topical pattern, thus she centered her speech around life after college and the equal importance of failure and imagination by utilizing her own life experiences as a mere twenty-year-old to explain her main points. Not only was the speech easy to follow because she clearly stated what she would speak about, She delivered the speech in a truly…

Eventually, those plot lines became my adversary, when their simplicity triggered a soporific rendition of the book. It persisted until the gifts of classical literature unwrapped as I learned to penetrate, explore, and discover meanings in, for example, Dickens’ lengthy description of a clock tower did I truly find my beloved. Although young adult books had their place in my life by inspiring a love for reading, classical literature has opened up a whole new perspective, teaching me to seek out knowledge while still yielding enjoyment as I consume each book.…

Beginning with the explicit references to religion, two major references would be the mention of the holidays Christmas and Easter, which are both usually associated with the Christian religion.
