Hogwarts

Characters such as Padma and Parvati Patil, Cho Chang, and Lee Jordan and Angelina Johnson, are perceived to be of ethnic backgrounds different from the rest of Hogwarts based solely on their names and minor outward descriptions, but never on their culture or traditions that would link them to their respective backgrounds. Rena sees this as an attempt to be politically correct rather than a fight against racism…

“A Very Potter Musical” was written and performed in 2009 by StarKid Productions in the University of Michigan campus. At first glance the musical seems like it would be rather interesting purely because it is every Harry Potter dorks dream come true. However, upon further look into the musical people begin to realize that the music isn’t really that great. For a person who does not have a musical background the play is rather enjoyable but when one turns a musical ear to it they want to run the…

action, and this is classic perfectionism at work. The action over law concept is characteristic to Harry and perfectionism. It is this concept that allows Harry to maintain his celebrity status, as he continuously saves Hogwarts. This concept is enabled by the staff at Hogwarts, as they generally do not punish Harry for his rule breaking, especially Dumbledore. Celebrities are usually given special treatment, and people generally look the other way when presented with a celebrity who breaks the…

When I need to escape from my everyday life, I go to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Universal Studios is one of the major theme parks in Florida. The studio is connected to a hotel and resort. Me and my family try to go there as often as we can. Universal Studios has beautiful scenery that can amaze anyone who sees it.

series of books written by J.K Rowling. We narrowed down our boundary into Dumbledore’s Army (D.A), the organization that was founded by Hermione Granger and led by her together with Ron Weasley and Harry Potter as a teacher on their fifth year in Hogwarts. We are going to find out if the three founders were actually central in the organization and in what extent they were the reason that exactly these 26 people came to the first meeting and therefore became the members of the organization. In…

they only worked under Malfoy. During the dementor attack, Dudley saw himself the way he truly was, making him realise, rather harshly, that he needed to change. Neville Longbottom worked as on Auror before moving on as the Herbology professor at Hogwarts. He and Luna don't end up together. In Deathly Hallows Part 2, when they all see that Harry isn’t actually dead George turns around to say “Fred” but there is no Fred. He…

Horror stories are becoming increasingly popular in today’s era. The inquisitiveness of nature, behavior, and mysterious happenings in this specific genre have sparked interest in the unknown. When literary trends escaped the Age of Reason, literature was brought back to its traditional times when mysteries were fascinating. The most attainable model of creative narrative developed from the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages consisted of periods of crime, barbarism, works of witches, scientific…

enthusiastic reviews of the saga, he argues that Harry Potter is "failed fantasy" (Pennington 78) and J.K. Rowling is incapable of abiding to the rules of fantasy literature. Firstly, Pennington claims that Harry Potter merely replicates reality - from Hogwarts to Quidditch, the elements in the saga are nothing more than exotic-sounding names derived from everyday reality - and it's an assemblage of clichés from previous fantasy novels and movies. Moreover,…

that the more die-hard fans may recognize. This is the first installment in this series, the next is due to be out some time in 2018 (so excited!), and the people behind the movie have set the bar quite high. Since American fans now know why their Hogwarts letters did not arrive, since they live in the wrong country to get one, fans can now begin to wonder where their Ilvermorny acceptance letters are and why those did not come. This movie covers an entire spectrum of emotions, laughter and…
