Albus Dumbledore

the houses have had their fair share of dark witches and wizards. The Head of Slytherin, Severus Snape, encouraged bullying between the houses by publically favoring Slytherin and taking an outrageous amount of points from Gryffindor. Headmaster Dumbledore is not innocent in taking part of the inequality of houses as every year he awards Gryffindor points for stupid, mundane things like playing chess really well. The Slytherins deserved better as no one gets to choose their own parents or their…

I believe that the symbolism of the fence in “Araby” stands for the division that the boy faces in the aspect of reality vs. illusion. In Araby, the boy cannot obtain the affection of Mangan’s sister, therefore, the fence can symbolize this idea that “what the boy dreams” of versus “what is actually occurring” cannot and will not happen due to the unobtainable status and obstacles that are in his way. In other words, the fence seemingly symbolizes the unobtainable status and his disillusion with…

Being part of the same cycle of books, the two works are quite alike. Stylistically they present the same elements. However, I could test a few differences. Rowling’s writing has fully matured in her last book. [1] I believe that the style and the themes have developed with the story and the characters. The plot has become darker, the characters more complex, as if the book itself grew with Harry. In the first book, Harry is merely an 11 year old being introduced to the magic world. In the…

“The Prince’s Tale” by Alexandre Desplat is from the final installment of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and actually is a mix between two songs, “Severus and Lily’s Theme” and “Dumbledore’s Farewell.” After Severus Snape is murdered by Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter rushes to his side and gathers Snape’s memories in a vial so that he may view them later (it was Snape’s dying wish that Potter take his memories and view them). When Potter is finally able to…

Imagine the life of a soldier, police officer, or firefighter; each occupation launches a person into a “new world”, and their individual jobs each give them experiences much like a hero might have during a hero’s journey. For example, when firefighters go to work, they are put in situations unlike those of others in the workforce. Firefighters have assistance from tools, such as a water hose, as well as from their colleagues. The hero’s journey is an archetype of the common expedition of a…

parents are James and Lily Potter so we can omit the assumption that his mother was a virgin with supernatural conception. In the last Harry Potter series, he was successful on defeating Lord Voldermort at the expense of his two father-figures, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. A father or a father figure has big influence on his son. Lord Voldermort in a way can be described as his negative father figure because he influenced him as such that molded him to what he is now. He made him stronger…

I should live multiple lives there. Another thing is, I wonder whether or not I should become Harry Potter or become a side character and become part of the lore as a wizard more powerful than Merlin himself, or even Albus Dumbledore but from research and things alike, I think Albus was more powerful than Merlin. But I could totally be wrong. I wonder, since Harry Potter is in a different reality, could there be different dimensions? If so, what kind of dimensions would there be. What would…

One beautiful morning, a stranger came into town, he had a shaggy blonde beard and wore a brown tunic. I was wearing my sea-green tunic with a light brown shawl, my golden curls fell to my hip. When the stranger looked into my crystal clear blue eyes, I knew he was a storyteller. He reminded me of my brother who had gone to Athens to fight in the war. I was going to go inside and tell Ma, when the storyteller yelled “Eleni! It’s me!” I turned around and realized the man was my brother! I ran to…

“Details Magically Disappearing” J. K. Rowling’s book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, (a.k.a) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, is the first book of the Harry Potter series, which is the series that whisks people away to the magical world of wizards, witches, spells, and flying brooms. After people discover this “Best Selling” series of books, people want a movie made about Harry Potter. When Chris Columbus’ film on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone comes out, people fall…
