    The cultural and literary phenomenon set forth by J.K. Rowling enraptured an audience spanning many generations, inviting her readers to immerse themselves in the fantastical wizarding world bound by her seven novels. Rowling rewards her versed readers; while the Harry Potter novels are ones easily (and presumably most often) enjoyed by their younger devotees, they craft an allegorical puzzle for an informed audience. Rowling makes brilliant use of the classical tradition to provide the…

    Without awaiting an answer, she grabbed her wand, extinguished the light, and tapped it against the book. An exact copy appeared with a quiet pop and an excess of sparks. Whoever invented that Charm had a good sense of humour. There was another rustle from somewhere in the room. “Lumos.” The wand flew out of her hand again and floated in mid-air, illuminating both books and nothing else.

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…

    The character with the most leadership that I noticed was Hiccup. He has a lot of pressure on him being Stoick the Vast’s son, and he’s not really a Viking at all. Watching How To Train Your Dragon is like reading a Mark Twain novel; you watch the boy grow up. In the beginning of the movie Hiccup is more of a burden to the village than helpful. Nevertheless at the end Hiccup leads the other teenagers in Dragon Training to save the villagers from the dragon’s nest. That is a big turning point…
