274 Words2 Pages

Harry Potter is a character of great mental fortitude, as depicted throughout the entirety of the book “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. Right off the bat we as readers become well versed on what kind of life this orphaned young boy lives and has already lived.

    As I read pages 58-59 in chapter 4, I found out that being family doesn't always put you on a higher pedal stool as an outsider. Joe's father left him to live by himself in an unfinished house at the young age of 15. Joe's stepmom did not enjoy living with him and with no consideration of his mother's death; she easily persuaded Harry to abandon his own flesh and blood. Thula, the stepmother is pure evil for those actions. Joe's father, Harry, on the other side is not innocent either.

Edmund sides with the witch (for a short time) when she curses him into desiring Turkish delight over all other foods, she also pollutes his mind with lies of being the Prince, and soon the king of Narnia. Then, later, right before almost being executed by the witch, he was rescued and brought to his family. Edmund Pevensie was greedy and was a bully who makes many mistakes, but eventually learns from them, and why they are problematic.

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban truly accentuates time and clocks, which is very fitting since Book 3 will presumably be recognized as the Harry Potter book with the time travel.

  • Similarities Between Harry Potter And The Bible

    Harry Potter shares similarities with the stories in the Bible in regards to themes, narratives and characteristics. A few examples would be: The persecutions of the “chosen ones”: Harry Potter’s beginning is similar to that of Jesus and Moses, as they all share the “saved-saviour”-myth: Forecasts have prophesied that they will, in some way, save the people, wherefore the person in charge feared to loose their power – making them try to kill them: When King Herod hears about the Three Wise Men who are on their way to find the new born king of the Jews, Jesus, he decides to kill every boy to the age of two, out of fear that the baby will rob him of his powers.

    The film of J.K Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an uncommon critical movie in the arrangement. Like the book, this film is vital in setting up a perception for the straggling leftovers of the course of action. It is essential that the film supplements the novel however much as could sensibly be normal. Using one of the critical features of a movie; visual imagery, the film change of the fourth novel is a better than average reinforcement to the novel. The visual similarity in this film complements sentiments and reactions that we can't in any capacity, shape or form get from the book.

  • Comparison Of Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

    592 Words  | 3 Pages

    The film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was my first exposure to the creature known as the Cerberus. The animal was named “Fluffy” and depicted as a three-headed guard dog. Under the orders of school headmaster Albus Dumbledore, it watched over the trapdoor that eventually led to the titular Stone, an object with the ability to grant its user eternal life. The only way to “defeat” the Cerberus was to play music, lull it to sleep, and run away from it or dive into the trapdoor before it woke up. I initially believed that the animal was invented in the book of the same name that served as the basis for the film.

    Millions of children flooded their bookstores to get the next The Lord of the Rings book in the 1950’s, and again in the late 90’s when Harry Potter came out. Two amazingly popular series from two completely different eras, by two very different authors (J. R. R. Tolkien and J. K. Rowling, respectively). People see The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter as unconnected, but there are many characteristics that they share, showing that Rowling might have been unconsciously influenced by Tolkien. Both of the protagonists have an old, bearded, and robed wizard for a mentor. The mentors also share many non-physical characteristics, including that they both have a “familiar” of sorts.
