Hogwarts

job. Elementary school students from around the region visit the observatory to learn about astronomy and look through thermal telescopes to view the sun. Every October the department hosts a “Haunted Observatory” event, in which children dress as Hogwarts characters and speak to volunteers dressed as dead astronomers. One thing everyone can be excited about is that on the 21st of next August, Columbia will be one of the best cities in the nation to view a total solar…

The Potterheads of Green Wave I remember when the last Harry Potter book released. I was still in elementary school. Many of my friends and their siblings were camping out in the mall waiting to buy the book. Though I couldn’t join them (my parents thought it was crazy for a rising fourth grader to camp out for anything, let alone a book), it was the first time I felt a connection with people through the books. That summer marked an important part of my childhood and a key fact to my…

Jimenez compared the school to Hogwarts. Being a longtime fan of the Harry Potter series, I felt like I was 8 years old again and on my way to see the Order of the Phoenix. I thought it was just an exaggeration, but when I saw the campus I knew what he meant; I absolutely fell in love…

spotlight. The series, consisting of seven books and eight movies based upon those books, has garnered millions of readers and viewers, along with its fair share of criticism. The books tell the story of a young wizard named Harry Potter in his time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an institution of magic. Due to the subject nature of magic and children, many religious groups fought to have the books banned from libraries because they believed that the stories would entice young…

I was actually reading a book for once. Even if I don’t usually get enraptured by many books, this one caught my eye, and I was flying through the pages. Here I was, reading a book about 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…

characters become more vivid. In Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, Severus Snape is characterized as smart and contradictory in order to deepen people’s impression for Snape. Professor Snape is one of main characters in this book. He works in the Hogwarts who has greasy black hair, a hooked nose and sallow skin.(Philosopher’s 94) Also, he is the Head of Slytherin house.(Philosopher’s 109) The hair of Professor Snape is greasy black hair almost all the time, so it can express he is a…

---------------------------------------------------------- The prisoner of Azkaban 03 ------------------------------------------------------------ Professor Lupin called in sick; instead, they had Professor Snape. "Trun to page 394." Professor Snape said strictly. No one was talking or laughing anymore, they all started flipping the pages even Molfard. Harry asked where Lupin was; Snape responded that it was none of Harry's concern. Page 394 was about Werewolves, which was a topic that will be…

Harry Potter is a scrawny, messy-haired boy with a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. He’s a bit prideful, but has a gracious heart & pure intentions. He’s very passionate, though his actions occasionally point to impulsive. Many heros are inherently perfect; I think he isn’t perfect at all despite how the other characters regard him. He isn’t overly intelligent -as his grades are average and he doesn’t try very hard to improve them- or physically brawny, as many of his clothes are baggy. When…

Shakespeare reference appeared in the third book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The allusion is the song sung by the three witches in Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. In the Harry Potter world, the Frog Choir of Hogwarts sings “Double Trouble”, the same song from Macbeth, during their welcoming ceremony. Also during…

If I go to Hogwarts I will need my friends with me to get me through bad grades or mean people or just tests and homework. In Ravenclaw, I would find a lot of people like me. That would mean fewer bullies because the only reason bullies bully is because they are…
