Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone by J.K Rowling include many characters and themes, as both reveals throughout the book. Bravery, friendship and family are the few main themes explored. Friendship was the theme that linked the story together as it was developed for Harry Potter having adventures with his friends. The friendship between Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley intrigues the readers whereas it contains both genders. Furthermore, Rowling sets the characters with…

Throughout the Harry Potter series, storylines and plots changed throughout the books, but one thing remained consistent- the personalities of the characters. A reader could always rely on Harry to save the day, Ron to be his sidekick, Mrs. Weasley to be motherly, and Draco Malfoy to be a bully. This is because the characters each had their own archetype, or pattern of behavior throughout the series. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling specifically demonstrated these archetypes.…

In Hermann Hesse’s “Siddhartha”, John Green’s “Beowulf” and J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” the protagonist’s search for self-fulfillment is displayed throughout each authors stories differently.

themselves in the fantastical wizarding world bound by her seven novels. Rowling rewards her versed readers; while the Harry Potter novels are ones easily (and presumably most often) enjoyed by their younger devotees, they craft an allegorical puzzle for an informed audience. Rowling makes brilliant use of the classical tradition to provide the consumers of both canons, classical and Potter-centric, with a repertoire of themes, motifs, and language reminiscent of those in antiquity, allowing…

An inference I can make about a relationship between two characters is the relationship between Harry and Hagrid. Since Hagrid told Harry the truth about his parent. “But you must know about your mom and dad,” he said. “I mean, they’re famous. You’re famous.” Hagrid said this to Harry in Chapter 4, after bursting into the hut on the island where Mr. Dursley has brought Harry to escape the magical letters. Hagrid’s was surprise at Harry’s ignorance of himself and of his family underscores the…

The character with the most leadership that I noticed was Hiccup. He has a lot of pressure on him being Stoick the Vast’s son, and he’s not really a Viking at all. Watching How To Train Your Dragon is like reading a Mark Twain novel; you watch the boy grow up. In the beginning of the movie Hiccup is more of a burden to the village than helpful. Nevertheless at the end Hiccup leads the other teenagers in Dragon Training to save the villagers from the dragon’s nest. That is a big turning point…

Harry Potter is a movie series filled with fantasy scripted from a series of seven novels written by J.K Rowling. It talks about how little Harry Potter survived a deadly attack on his family by the darkest wizard in the “world” and how he is supposed to destroy the killer of his parents. (Columbus, 2001-2011). Structuralists believe that the world is governed by rules and codes and so in giving meaning to a text such as this, these structural codes or rules must not be broken. However, there is…

Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank Diary of a Young Girl is a beloved book all around the world, translated in over 70 languages. Distributing over 30 million copies, it is the most read book under the Bible. The book and the movie have similar key details but many differences about minor ones. Both the book and the diary were absolutely amazing. The diary was a lot more popular than the book because the book has more details about Anne’s life than the movie. The movie also tells about the…

Something hungry for blood. A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness. It is almost here.” It is not a nonchalant coincidence that these are the first words pronounced after such horrifying sequence. After ten hours of playing D&D, this sentence is articulated…
