Communication Final I chose to write my final based off of Harry Potter. For the interest of time and amount of material I will only consider the first film for this paper. Harry Potter is a movie made after the novels created by J. K. Rowling. It takes place in a world much like our own, except there is a hidden world of wizards and witches. Of course they must all go to school and practice their craft, this is where the story begins. Harry plays many roles. He plays the role of the “normal” child at home. In this role he does not know magic and is treated as a lesser individual by his adopted family. Harry plays the role of a student at Hogwartz, where he attends school. He plays the roles of friend and enemy to his peers. Harry also plays a special role of a hero in a sense because he is known at the one who lived. When his parents were attacked and killed Harry managed to survive. In the eyes of others this made him very special that an infant could somehow manage to evade death under such circumstances. …show more content…

This makes for an interesting start to developing relationships. “Interpersonal relationships develop through coordinated interaction”( Trenholm & Jensen, 2013). Some characters see Harry as a threat or as competition and others see him as a powerful ally or friend. “As relationships unfold, we begin to analyze and evaluate them”.( Trenholm & Jensen, 2013) However, with all of the preconceived ideas others have about Harry he is forced to analyze each person’s behaviors almost before even getting to know them. These behaviors in combination with Harry’s own interactions decide whether the relationship is good or

This also is a good example of how relationships are constantly changing. Looking Out Looking In states “Even the strongest relationships are rarely stable for long periods.” This holds true to Harry and Sally’s relationship because throughout the movie it changes drastically.

The elongated plot strengthens the thesis as it proves through Harry and Sally’s various meetings that they could’ve remained friends, but they let their connections get too deep with each other. They both spent years hanging out as “friends” before deciding they had feelings. The interviews with real-life couples proved that time strengthens relationships, and it did so with Harry and Sally. While the overarching point of the interviews was to prove that Harry and Sally could face challenges and still end up with each other, it also shows how deep their relationship became because of how long their story lasted. For the majority of the film, these interviews strengthen the audience's idea of Harry and Sally’s relationship, because it shows that they could start their relationship as friends, and eventually turn it into a romantic relationship, because of how close they became with each other.
