Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

book show. I will be discussing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling. I enjoy reading because; "When you sell a book, you don't just sell ink and paper, you sell a whole new life." This quote is true for me because books a a very large part of my life. I started reading for pleasure at a very young age. People complain when they don't get to join a character in their journey, but we did, and the journey will start again when you reread. When Harry reaches 17, the hunt begins…

In the novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling uses characterization to show the amount of loyalty that several of the characters have towards Harry Potter, and to prove that sometimes friends, even those thought to be enemies, can sometimes be more loyal than one’s own blood. J.K. Rowling shows the loyalty that Harry Potter’s friends have towards him through characters like Albus Dumbledore, Ron Weasley, and Dobby. Rowling also shows that even those who are understood to be…

Hermione Granger: The Badass Heroine We All Want To Be Let’s face it. Without Hermione Granger, Harry Potter would be a footnote in Voldemort: Rise to Power, and we muggles would be little more than subservient house elves to our magical overlords. Hermione Granger, for anyone who’s been living on Mars for the past two decades, is one of the three central characters in JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books. If you haven’t read them/seen the movies and plan to, stop reading now and instead check out…

time devoted to each assignment. I loved having presentation. I loved to be on stage and in the limelight. Ten years of practice for one minute on the stage. I 'm never a slacker for projects that will leave my mouth wide open or stutter like a prisoner in the interrogation room. I spend time researching, googling, emailing teachers. I devote my time to every single presentation, and I always succeed - not condescendingly, but with dignity and respect. However, I 'm not the President of the…

In Harry Potter, a seven book series written by J.K. Rowling, Harry and all of the people around him face challenges stemming from Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore is correct when saying that it is “a great and remarkable thing” that Harry can still love because the multitude of battles he endures makes it difficult for him to feel anything but anger and sadness (Rowling 508-509). Throughout each novel, there is a significant challenge that Harry and those close to him have to overcome. While these…

the Harry Potter books. I had heard many great things about the Harry Potter series written by J.K Rowling but never got around to reading them myself. I also was also fortunate enough to have an english background and learned a lot from my father and my grandparents who are very knowledgeable about literature. Before we began reading the text I was already excited to discover what new adventure I was going to partake in, this time. The novel we read in class was Harry Potter and the prisoner…

The Magic of Figurative Language The Harry Potter series of books, written by J.K. Rowling, dominates the best seller lists since it was published on June 26, 1997. The tale follows a young orphan who lives with a very mean aunt, uncle, and cousin, before finding out that he’s the most famous young wizard in the world. Swept from his dismal existence of teasing, chores, and bullying, he finds himself plunged into a fantasy world of friendship, magic, and adventure, at a boarding school for…

characteristics of being strong and fearless. The ancient hero Gilgamesh had these ideals in the story the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in Western Asia in 2000 B.C.E. Even though these ideals are present, they are not as evident in the hero Harry Potter from J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter series written in the 21st century. However, in almost every book, no matter what the culture or time period are, the same basic themes of character traits, power and death recur. Even though these topics have become…

Friendship Since J.K Rowling wrote the world of Harry Potter children all over the world have been fascinated with this imaginary world. The world of Harry Potter is filled with lots of magic, spells, wizardry, and magical wands, the world is a fantasy. The series is for children and kids of all ages, and they have taken this world and embraced it. Rowling created a magical world but in creating this world she also created learning aspects that some find as fundamentals for children to learn.…

into movies, the Harry Potter books differ from the movies in many ways. I would like to say that I love both the books and movies but I prefer the books, mainly because of all the extra details. When comparing movies to books most of the time one will favor the books more. One of the reasons is the same as mine, more detail. One of those details most fans were mad about was that Peeves didn’t make it into the movies. Peeves is a mischievous poltergeist that caused trouble for Harry and his…
