Disclaimer: JKR owns her characters, plots, and world. But not mine :) Extremely long AN: About people accepting Harry as being from the future so quickly… the students didn’t and neither did the ministry. The teachers were one over by the contract as the magic that created them is considered deadly in the extreme. Not quite black but the type of magic that if you tinker with it legend states your soul will be collected by the Wild Haunt, a myth that came pre-humanity. Soooo yeah that won over…

LANGUAGE AND ITS ROLE IN FANTASY LITERATURE The fantasy genre is distinctive due to its freedom of expression – the entirely independent framework of story and its style of writing. It has the ability to take people into an alternate universe via a portal or immerse them in a completely different world. These worlds are characterised as unique and separate from us due to the unfamiliar lands, mystical culture and history of the characters in the story which is brought to us by the use of a…

The rest of the room was simply decorated, a thick white rug covered the floor with a sitting area consisting of a long sofa and a chair near the windows that were draped with thick blue draperies that blocked the light. "This is your room," Amelia repeated from the doorway. "You can do with it what you want, it's your zone nobody else's. If you don't like the paint we can change it," "No - its - its perfect," he murmured softly before turning away and smiling at the older woman. "Thank you,"…

The Great Depression was a time of hardship for all Americans. Many laws were passed in both state and federal government. Due to the shortages of food and money, laws were passed that put government regulations on food and prices. This issue was brought up in the Supreme Court Case of Nebbia v. New York in 1934. The case of Nebbia v. New York started with the passage of emergency legislation by the state of New York during the Great Depression. Due to the shortage of milk and the shortage of…

All the candles burn down. Tom, who has returned from the Forest in pieces, does not sleep. He reads, but the words wash over him in waves of neat black print. He is cold, but not overpoweringly so. Every so often he feels the stirrings of a migraine, but it never amounts to anything but a faint pulse behind his eyes. He entertains the vague idea of writing in the diary--which lies beside him on the common room couch--but every time he touches it is like a wound splitting open, raw and hot and…

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…

Catcher in the Rye’s Holden Caulfield, Harry Potter’s Severus Snape, and Neuromancer’s Henry Case all share something in common—they are antiheroes. Merriam-Webster’s definition of an antihero is, “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities” (Merriam-Webster). While that is the ‘dictionary definition,’ many authors have taken liberties in describing which “heroic qualities” are missing, and which traits are used instead (Merriam-Webster). Through a…
