save the day, Ron to be his sidekick, Mrs. Weasley to be motherly, and Draco Malfoy to be a bully. This is because the characters each had their own archetype, or pattern of behavior throughout the series. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling specifically demonstrated these archetypes. In the book, Harry showed his heroic side while competing in the Triwizard Tournament, a tournament between international wizards. The three tasks of this tournament put Harry through a great deal…

Since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and The Odyssey have been released, they have been popular within the literature community and has been notable in the “Hero’s Journey” trope. Both Homer and Rowling have showed how a person can change mentally and physically after undergoing steps that take heroes different pathways as they progress throughout novels, which makes that hero unique in some way. Some pathways within the two pieces of literature have showed some similarities, but some…

Rowling’s famous protagonist “Harry Potter” exemplifies how characters develop throughout plots.

favorite book series. I have read it multiple times, and also watched all of the movies several times, and when the announcement from J.K. Rowling came out about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, I could not wait to get my hands on it. This book is a little different than the other Harry Potter books. It is written in a play format and not completely by J.K. Rowling. Nevertheless, I have fully enjoyed every minute of reading the story of Albus Potter, Harry’s youngest son, through his struggles…

An inference I can make about a relationship between two characters is the relationship between Harry and Hagrid. Since Hagrid told Harry the truth about his parent. “But you must know about your mom and dad,” he said. “I mean, they’re famous. You’re famous.” Hagrid said this to Harry in Chapter 4, after bursting into the hut on the island where Mr. Dursley has brought Harry to escape the magical letters. Hagrid’s was surprise at Harry’s ignorance of himself and of his family underscores the…
