Foreshadowing and Aha Moments in Harry Potter Foreshadowing and aha moments occur often in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The first area in which foreshadowing occurs is in the exposition, when Harry,the protagonist, sees Albus Dumbledore in his Chocolate Frog card. The second place where there is a aha moment is in the rising action when Harry goes to the midnight duel with Draco,his enemy, and ends up in the third floor corridor with Fluffy and his friend sees a trapdoor which Fluffy guards. The first time foreshadowing occurs is when Harry,on the train, gets a chocolate Frog from the trolley and he gets Dumbledore as his card.
In the article “Girls Just Wanna Have Fangs,” published in The American Prospect in November 2009, Sady Doyle argues that it is not fair to criticize Twilight book because of its fan base, who are almost teenage girls. She emphasizes that the criticism focus more on the feminists than on the contents of the movie. Fan girls of Twilight are called "Twi-Hards" and usually described by squealing, shrieking and making loudly, but it is not necessary to see them ridiculously. Compared with other books, Die Hard or Tom Clancy novel has many people do not like it, but none of these books is mocked. There is a backlash of the Harry Potter since this book seems as an example of cultural "dumbing-down."
Rich also mentions in the article that a girl’s mother is not satisfied by the fact that her daughter would much rather read and write fan fiction- fictional stories made up by fans and published in order to let others read their own ending or spinoff of a cartoon, movie, book, game, etc. - on the internet than to read books (Rich, Literacy Debate, The New York Times). Reading fan fiction requires as much skill as reading an average book because fan fictions are stories
Celsius 232 In the book Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury (the author of the book) foresaw many negative predictions about our current society, for example the issue of technology. With his intense, imaginative mind, Bradbury knew that technology would corrupt our minds, and in my opinion, he was both right and wrong with this prediction. Bradbury is a mastermind at predicting the future; not only was he right about our society being glued to technology, but he was also right with how we now resort to technology to solve problems. For example, a lot of children, adolescents, and adults are using technology a little too much, and using it for redundant reasons (for example; social media), but that’s not all.

Do you remember the first time you saw a light saber, or a picture of Yoda? Do you remember wondering what these things were? Most people do not, and for this reason, it seems as if everyone was born with some type of basic knowledge of what Star Wars is. But why is this franchise common knowledge, and how do people know what Star Wars is, even if they have never seen it? Why is the ratio between the amount of people who know what the movies are, and the amount of people who have actually seen them, so dramatic?
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.

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 Pharaoh in Egypt, threatened by a potential revolt against his authority by his

Harry’s life isn’t very bright in the beginning of our story; he is forced to sleep in a cupboard under the stairs, never gets anything for his birthdays (except a pair of Uncle Vernon’s old socks, and coat hangers ) and he is constantly being bullied by his 12 year old nephew, Dudley. One fine morning, Harry starts receiving strange letters adressed to his cupboard and is rescued by a giant man. Harry discovers his parents hadn’t died in a car crash (as his uncle and aunt always told him), but that they were wizards, and that he’s one as well. Though that’s not all; Harry isn’t just an ordinary wizard, but a famous one.
