Harry Potter characters

There’s so many wonderful characters throughout the Harry Potter series, so choosing one was a little difficult. After some thought, I decided that Neville Longbottom would be a great character to write this over. I chose Neville because I feel that I relate to him in several ways. Sometimes I’m just as clumsy as he is and definitely just as lost, but I manage to put forth a lot of effort into whatever it is that I’m doing. I always liked the fact that Neville seemed to be much braver than he…

Beginning with the explicit references to religion, two major references…

The Borrowers by Mary Norton is a classic novel that does not get dated with time. “Marcus Crouch comments that, ‘of all the winners of the Carnegie Medal [awarded annually by the British Library Association to the best children's novel of the preceding year], it is the one book of unquestioned, timeless genius’” (Stott).

Rowling’s series, one of the most critical lessons and experiences that Harry, and the reader, experience, is death. While some deaths are more prominent than others, there are several that I find to be particularly important. Before Harry’s time, there were the fan-titled “Marauder’s Era” encompassing the early lives of Harry’s parents, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Severus Snape. Each of these characters suffered and lost their youth to the hardships and dangers of a war. In…

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…

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…
