Unfortunately Harry’s emotional abuse is not exclusive to his aunt and uncle’s home. He also is mistreated by his classmates and sometimes professors…

Animals have a significant part in human’s daily lives. Everyday people overlook the importance the animals have in the lives around the people they care about. This happens in reality and in stories, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is no different. Many characters have interactions with the animals around them; these relationships are not always positive or negative. They can range from friendship, companionship, enemies to antagonistic relationships. The reason I decide to read this…

I ran through the dark forest covered mountains. The cold, shilling air zipped through my long, pitch-black hair. The bats flew by me squealing with joy as they tried to race me. All was silent except for the brushing of the leaves and the flapping of wings. I soon heard howling and saw the wolves running in the shadows, joining on the race.

explained Dumbledore, thoughtfully, “is one of the finest wand makers in the world. You boys should have no trouble having a wand choose you. It may take some time, so if you find yourselves needing me, you will find in Florean Fortescue’s ice cream parlor. He and I haven’t spoken in years; I think it’s time I pay him a visit,” He paused, allowing Sam and Dean to peer down the crooked street to a sunny, brightly colored shop that was indeed, an ice cream parlor. “Well, good luck,” Dumbledore…

Albus Dumbledore is God God, Lucifer, and Jesus attending a boarding school in a Scotland castle sounds like the beginnings of a very odd joke. Yet it can be argued that this is essentially what went down in the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone. Religious symbolism is heavily entrenched in this young adult movie series, as it naturally should. References to religion is often essential in any narrative that depicts the struggle between darkness and light. This is because darkness and…

In the next few paragraphs I will explain to you the key points why I think Gandalf the Gray is the best choice. Character portrayal is a very important part to look at…
