It was an instant success as children, teens, adults, and the elderly loved the magical world of Hogwarts and following Harry Potter on his adventure. Then on November 16th, 2001, the magic was literally brought to life as it came out as a movie. There were so many mixed emotions from people. Some loved seeing it come to life and some wished it…

Analyiss of the Harry Potter and the philosophers stone The storyline of the book Book starts by telling about Harrys muggle(non-wizard) family for quite a while. In my opinion there was too much of it and most of it was totally irrelevant. Then some weird things start happening, shooting stars all over Britian and owls flying by daylight just to name a few. Finally our main character, Harry Potter comes onto the stage. Two legendary wizards and one goofy half-giant called Hagrid leave Harry to…

is the best Chaser they’ve had since Montagu five years ago. Sirius falls asleep on James’s bed with well-worn books on lycanthropy tucked under his head because he has a bloody theory god damn it. James nods off at the foot of Sirius’s bed with Quidditch Through the Ages draped across his chest. It’s nice to be in a safe place and accepted by people who will never hurt you. Both are the happiest they’ve ever…

over his prized possession of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I became infatuated with the wizarding world of Harry Potter. I felt as if I was part of the Harry, Ron, and Hermione gang. I felt like I was at all of the lessons, duels, and “Quidditch” games. I slaved over reading them day and night. I absolutely could not put them down, I read half of the series in the week that I was stuck at home. This brought my love for books and reading back. To this day, as a freshman in college,…

We are going to find out if the three founders were actually central in the organization and in what extent they…

the school houses to that of family, implies values of belonging and identity through acceptance. Harry becomes an important part of Gryffindor and strongly feels guilt and remorse when he lets them down, explicit as he offers to resign from the Quidditch team out of shame (Rowling 263). This same sense of belonging is never experienced within the special world, thus contrasting the two worlds. Succinctly summarised by Heilman as she states “in moving from the Muggle to the magical world, Harry…

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,…

The World of Harry Potter Defies but Supports Boys and girls have different roles in this world. Or do they? Can boys and girls have the same gender roles? Boys can be just as preppy as girls and girls can be just as tough as boys. Harry Potter is a series that supports and defies these roles so we can see that the same gender roles can apply to both sides and not just the one. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone both supports and defies basic stereotypical gender roles, when Ron…
