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).

    In Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, the author J.K. Rowling presents many different themes throughout the fantasy story. For example, it seems that Rowling has tied some religious aspects into the story, whether it be explicit references or simply religious symbolism. She also delves into deeper ideas, such as good vs. evil, as well as death and immortality, which you might not exactly expect from a children’s 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. However, in this story they don’t seem to be celebrating these holidays religiously.…

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.

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,…

Rowling’s world famous book ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ was rejected by no less than 12 publishers before it was finally published in 1997 at the insistence of Bloomsbury chairman, Nigel Newton’s daughter Alice.

    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.…
