Harry J. Anslinger

J,K Rowling’s book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was eventually adapted into a film in 2001 by the Warner Bros. Pictures. While the movie itself was very well-received at the box-office and by the critics, there were several differences seen when compared to the book. The introduction was concise when compared to the book. The book started off mentioning Harry’s life with the Dursleys in a great amount of detail including the part where the Harry visits the zoo with the Dursleys along…

The patriarchal society in the first three books of Earthsea is clearly shown through the description of Roke, and its students. Roke is described as the most powerful, and as far as the reader can tell, only wizarding school where young people go to learn about magic, and harness their true powers. When Ogion is describing Roke, he says, “I will send you to Roke Island where all high arts are taught. Any craft you undertake to learn, you will learn” (A Wizard of Earthsea 32) Ged can go there to…

I have just read a book called ‘’Percy Jackson The Demigod Files’’ by Rick Riordan and I thought it was a very interesting book and it is one of the best books I have read. There were three different storys in the book but all of them were about Percy Jackson. Percy is the main charahter in the book and he is the son of Poseidon and his mother is a mortal human. Since his father is immortal and his mother is a mortal human, that makes him a demigod/half-blood. Percy appears to live a normal…

this traditional path on their journey of adventure. This proves to be no different for the renowned Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Letter after letter, the people of Hogwarts were desperately trying to get Harry to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, Vernon and Petunia Dursley, Harry’s Uncle and Aunt kept hiding these letters from Harry, so he had no idea what the world of magic was or the fact that Hogwarts eagerly wanted him to…

He's coming back home one day from the grocery store when he hears a meow and when he looks down there's a tiny fluffy white kitten looking at him from between the bushes. He snorts and thinks that Harry would love that innuendo as he kneels down on the floor. The kitten takes a few steps back but keeps looking at him. "Are you hungry?" He asks with a baby voice. "I only have bread and milk with me now, I'm not sure I should give this to you." Meow. "Right." He looks around and sees no…

I will then be explaining a different worldview from a very popular movie called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first movie in the Harry Potter series. Since this is the first film of the Harry Potter series, we learn why Harry is the way he is—which is due to his parents being wizards. He learns more about his parents and life as a wizard in a new school, which gets him in dangerous situations.…

Why Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Was Banned Books are banned for numerous reasons, some are of plausible causes and others not so much. The book I have chosen is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. I think that she is an amazing author and the Harry Potter series is full of adventure and a world to escape into but, obviously, others think differently. As with all opinions, not everyone will share yours. That seems to be the case as the first Harry Potter book was…

and she then got out of welfare, got over her divorce, and became the 13th richest woman in Britain (richer than the queen). J.K. Rowling had a lot of things that were difficult to get over in her life. She was trying to publish her first book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" but she got rejected many times (J.K. Rowling). When Rowling first came up with the…
