“The Prince’s Tale” by Alexandre Desplat is from the final installment of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and actually is a mix between two songs, “Severus and Lily’s Theme” and “Dumbledore’s Farewell.” After Severus Snape is murdered by Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter rushes to his side and gathers Snape’s memories in a vial so that he may view them later (it was Snape’s dying wish that Potter take his memories and view them). When Potter is finally able to…

As I analyzed how Voldemort and his servants exemplified love and loyalty, I saw how they had strong love and loyalty but it was self-centered. Selfishness and fear were the main motivations of Voldemort for bringing about his plan of getting rid of Muggle-born wizards and taking control of the wizard government or destroying it if refused to comply with his vision. He was selfish because he was afraid of being defeated and losing his power. He did not care about who lived and who died in the…

H is for Heroic: Harry sticks by his morals and has a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong. When he firmly believes that an injustice has occurred, he will do anything necessary to set things in order. After he discovered that Sirius Black, the man who he once thought to have killed his parents, was actually innocent and was going to have his soul sucked out of him by the dementors at any moment, Harry was dead-set on saving Black’s life, no matter what the risks. "’Get on— there 's…

“A Very Potter Musical” was written and performed in 2009 by StarKid Productions in the University of Michigan campus. At first glance the musical seems like it would be rather interesting purely because it is every Harry Potter dorks dream come true. However, upon further look into the musical people begin to realize that the music isn’t really that great. For a person who does not have a musical background the play is rather enjoyable but when one turns a musical ear to it they want to run the…

accepted “The Hero’s Journey” theory is devised and arranged into stages by Joseph Campbell in 1947; Further, it was interpreted and adapted by Christopher Vogler, which can be illustrated through “Lord of The Rings” and “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. This is simple but powerful theory which eclipses these films and continues to captivate the audiences. Overtime, for both these films we see how the hero’s characters develop. They become more selfless and understand the outside world in…

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…
