Harry Potter characters

people in robes that can use magic sticks to cast spells. I read on in the book, reading more about how certain people teach the students in robes about certain things they can do with their magic stick. The brown haired boy, which was the main character, was talking to an old man who had lots of experience with the magic sticks that everyone used. The old man was called a headmaster, and he was teaching the boy about the mirror the boy had pointed out. The boy listened to the headmaster eagerly…

After binge watching the Harry Potter movie series, I've decided to live a life, or even a couple lives if there is a need to complete my full exploration of the world. It's really been likeable so far, and I could experience the whole world while reading the books too! But I do truly wonder whether or not I should live multiple lives there. Another thing is, I wonder whether or not I should become Harry Potter or become a side character and become part of the lore as a wizard more powerful…

Literature is a language in itself. Understanding that language allows the reader to fully appreciate the work at hand. After all, the grammar of literature is "a set of conventions and patterns, codes and rules, that we learn to employ in dealing with a piece of writing" (Foster xii). Memories of past stories, seeing symbols in the writing, and pattern recognition play important roles when reading a book. Pattern recognition in literature can help the reader decipher texts that would otherwise…

worked, day and night on the weekend, but what Ms. Turturro is telling me now, is that I unprepared. “What do you think Daniel Radcliff was thinking when he learned that Harry is related to Sirius Black?” She asked. “What is she thinking about?” I asked myself. What is the actor thinking about when he learned something of his character? Is that even a legitimate question? “I don’t know, Ms. Turturro.” I murmured. She noticed my anxiety and as if she would intensify it, she brought the…

1a. The Black Lives Matter movement has taken America and the world by storm by highlights the racial injustices in America. However, I recently read a criticism that Black Lives Matter movement only considers the lives of Black Americans. At first, I thought this was ridiculous. I posted the article to a group chat with some of my closest friends to see what they thought about it, and most of them ignored it. At that point, I thought there might be some validity to the author’s criticism…

The Impact of Rick Riordan on American Culture Rick Riordan once said “writing is like a sport, it’s like athletics- if you don’t practice, you don’t get any better.” In a fan-crazed Harry Potter era, the 2000’s consisted of an “Urban Fantasy” phase. In the article “2000s: Print Culture,” Reed Wilson (et. al.) explains it as a genre “juxtaposing our own modern urban world with elements of the fantastic” (2012). The young adult population was craving a new series to latch onto and obsess over…

Gandalf, hands down, is the best and most helping wizard of all time. In the next few paragraphs I will explain to you the key points why I think Gandalf the Gray is the best choice. Character portrayal is a very important part to look at between both wizards, it’s who they portray and what kind of character each wizard is. Gandalf is portrayed as the mentor with a warm, sometimes scolding grandfatheresk demeanor. Though he has a soft side he bounces back between friend, advisor, and leader.…

new books every day and the next book to come out could be better then something I’ve read. But there are some series, I can pick up over and over again, and never find boring. And if that counts as a favorite, then I’ll take it. Those would be: Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The White Rabbit Chronicles, House of Night Series, the Bloodlines Series, and anything by Sara…

The Self and the Other in The Magicians: The Magic of Isolation Romance novels tend to have a band of close knit friends that set out to help the protagonist complete their quest, for instance this is seen the Harry Potter series with Ron, Harry and Hermione. The group allows for all members to succeed and to come to some personal revelation in a healthy way. However, few Romance novels question the necessity for the protagonist to lean so heavily on others for personal growth, for instance…

The world of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the world of C.S Lewis’ Narnia are both filled with an immense number of fantastic creatures. In case of Rowling, many of these creatures are mythical animals-- centaurs, hippogriffs, goblins and unicorns to name a few- while Lewis mainly chooses to add mythical abilities to every-day animals. His Narnia consists of talking beavers, lions, and of course a few mythical animals such as fauns. Both worlds involve interaction between the non-human animals…
