Dumbledore's Army

He also might have gotten hurt if he hadn't known about the Order. Something could have happened with him that interfered with their plans, or he could have done something that got himself into trouble or got himself injured. This shows in Harry's creation of Dumbledore's Army. Due to Harry's choice of a name, Dumbledore has to flee Hogwarts to avoid being taken away because they're breaking the rules and the Ministry tried to crack down on them for doing that. Another example of people intentionally being kept in the dark with this motif is through the secret of magic. Witches and wizards are not allowed to do magic around muggles or really indicate that magic exists at all. This keeps the muggles in the dark, and that could really lead to…

“ New students, Hope to see you in Hufflepuff”. I know He definitely would be seeing me in Hufflepuff. The attributes of Hufflepuff are being kind,loyal,hard working,and patient and I express many of those attributes. The Hufflepuff colors are yellow and black two colors that fit perfectly together and the animal is the cutest badger ever. In the books and movies Hufflepuff was not touched on very much but I have several reasons why I would be in it. One way I will make it into Hufflepuff is…

What’s the difference between a muggle and a wizard parent: Going into Hogwarts with a wizard parent being raised into wizardry, but think about how a wizard feels when they have “muggle” parents? A muggle is a person who lacks any sort of magical ability and was not born into the magical world (Muggle). In Harry Potter Hermione comes from of family of muggles, but she continues on her way to Hogwarts, also, another wizard, Ron, comes from a family of wizards who think that wizard is the way of…

As I analyzed how Voldemort and his servants exemplified love and loyalty, I saw how they had strong love and loyalty but it was self-centered. Selfishness and fear were the main motivations of Voldemort for bringing about his plan of getting rid of Muggle-born wizards and taking control of the wizard government or destroying it if refused to comply with his vision. He was selfish because he was afraid of being defeated and losing his power. He did not care about who lived and who died in the…

“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. However, upon further look into the musical people begin to realize that the music isn’t really that great. For a person who does not have a musical background the play is rather enjoyable but when one turns a musical ear to it they want to run the…

Persephone straightened her skirt. She was more nervous today than she'd ever been before. Interviewing the Malfoys was a huge task, and to make it easier, she'd decided to interview the youngest member of the family, Draco Malfoy. When Mr. Malfoy came into the room, she stood and shook his hand, and invited him to be seated. So far, he seemed withdrawn and quiet, not the evil mastermind so many seemed to view him as. She decided to just dive in. "Mr. Malfoy, would you mind just telling me a…

Harry found himself enjoying the company that Ron brought; although they had only met a few hours before, he felt completely at ease. He wondered whether the red head would prove to be his first actual friend. As Ron pulled out his wand, determined to turn Scabbers yellow, the door their compartment was pulled open and a girl their age peered in. She had wild, frizzy hair and brown eyes, and her expression was slightly disdainful. "Have you happened to see a toad?" She asked," A boy called…

The Things they carried O’Brien’s story depicts a platoon of soldiers during the Vietnam War. The soldiers carry equipment, rations, weapons and personal items with them. Some of those items are a necessity such as the P-38 can openers, heat tabs, dog tags, ammunition, C-rations, guns and cigarettes. These are physical objects with a real measurable weight. O’Brien narrates the events and paints a picture of the burdens we do not see. Those invisible burdens the characters carry, are the…

The armed services consists of four main branches: the army, navy, marine corps, and the coast guard. These are all branches that help protect our country from harm. Unfortunately, these military force groups have the same problem as well as any other work force. You might say that it’s disorganized, or it may be that we have too much or too little in the force. It could be either of those issues at hand, but one of our main issues today is allowing homosexuals to join our military. Many…

Military Leadership Diversity Commissioned (MLDC) researched the armed forces of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines and Air Force. The data was not surprisingly that there needs to be more focus on recruitment of more minorities and especially in the officer ranks. Why is having diversity in the Armed Forces so important? One might ask. As the MLDC report concluded that having “diversity among the leaders so the service will reflect better the racial, ethnic, and gender mix in the armed…
