Hogwarts

lot of internal struggle within the Magical community and the way Magical “races” or groups are formed. Rowling addresses this segregation as early as the first book. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Harry first meet Draco on the steps of Hogwarts, where Draco decides to explain to Harry the hierarchy of the Wizard World. Draco who refers to “half-bloods” and Muggle Borns as “the other sort”, encourages Harry to stay with his “own kind” as in “pure-bloods”. Harry of course much like his…

The epilogue explains where all of the main characters are 12 years after the battle of hogwarts. 2. The play MacBeth by William Shakespeare illustrates an epilogue in a play. MacDuff exhibits the epilogue with his stanza “What wicked premonition is this, a king fathered by Banquo. The comrade of my family's killer now has a son who is…

For as long as I can remember, movies and television have been my escape. No matter what was going on in my life, I could always get lost in the fantastical adventures of Star Wars or even the mundane happenings in The Office. With each new story that I consumed, my mind created five more. For me, writing just started out as a way for me to clear all of these thought-tangents out of my head. I would keep random journals everywhere and just jot down whatever came to me throughout the day. I did…

“All was well.” (Rowling, 759) is how the Harry Potter series comes to an end. While the adventure may have ended happily, most of the series was full with dark, heinous plots and themes. Much of The Deathly Hallows focuses on the theme of good and evil, a theme which, more often than not, can allude to the good vs. evil theme strewn throughout The Bible. While the conflict between Harry and Voldemort allude to the one of the most famous conflicts in the Bible- Jesus vs. Satan, there are many…

Death Eaters, Muggles see no difference to their lives; normal people are not responsible for solving a large conflict. Moreover, even within the wizards, only the few fights against Voldemort, although many are affected. Out of all the students in Hogwarts, only several of Harry’s friends involve themselves in the battle; the majority of them are just speculators. The popularity of the books suggests that readers wish to temporary escape from reality and feel that they are not in big trouble…

Children literature includes books, magazines, stories and poems that children enjoy. It can be traced to stories and songs which were part of the oral tradition that adults shared with their children before the advent of publication.

However, from the 15th century AD, a large volume of literature, often with a religious or moral message, has been targeted specifically at children. Many of the children books acknowledged today as…

Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. As Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen has shown us, love is only truly beautiful when it includes the key element of respect and mutual improvement. In the well known Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, she unveils two spellbinding relationships between the main characters: Hermione Granger with Ron Weasley and Harry Potter with Ginny Weasley. Their bond is present from the first book to the last. Though J. K. Rowling has expressed…

For the book that I liked, I picked Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I believe that the author, JK Rowling has made an excellent use of language in this very famous novel of hers. Different characters' speech patterns reveal their levels of education. Wizards speak in proper English, and Hagrid, who is half-giant and not fully educated, drops his H's and slurs his words together a bit sloppily. House-elves have no sophisticated mastery of language. They use terrible grammar, referring to…

The first one is The Hunger Games. The book follows Katniss Everdeen, a 16 year old girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Hunger games so that her sister does not have to participate. The hunger games is a death match between the children chosen from each district to participate. The Hunger Games is a great example of breaking common gender stereotypes as the main character is a strong and independent female character. Katniss does not rely on the usual stereotypical male character…
