Throughout Harry’s life,…

slowly got up, careful not to wake Harry, and I turned around when I heard Harry talk in his sleep. “Elizabeth? Tell Aunt Petunia I’m getting up.” He mumbled before sitting up and fully waking up. “I don’t think Aunt Petunia is even up.” I say with a small laugh while opening the window to let the owl in.

“A Very Potter Musical” was written and performed in 2009 by StarKid Productions in the University of Michigan campus. At first glance the musical seems like it would be rather interesting purely because it is every Harry Potter dorks dream come true.

After hearing the long and almost unbelievable story of how I accidentally fell into a television and landed in this magical forest where his nondescript house stood, he helpfully suggested that we find the secret door that lay behind the antique golden book shelf that could be opened by the special golden key in the hidden treasure chest.

Slytherin make the bad choices for bad purposes. Gryffindor makes good choices also some bad ones but results in a good purpose.

are teaching us all valuable lessons and educating us about how we can avoid making the same mistakes as we did in the past. J.K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, did just this by modeling her character, the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, after Adolf Hitler, perhaps one of the world’s most malevolent dictators. Throughout the Harry Potter series, we can see many parallels between the respective rises to power of Lord Voldemort and Adolf Hitler in post World War I Germany. These…
