The next chapter already goes into ten years later and is written about how badly Harry is being treated by his aunt and uncle. The book goes on telling about how Harry finds out that he is a wizard and He was told how his parents passed away.

    Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone Character Analysis

    At the beginning of the story it is seen how badly Harry Potter is treated by the Dursley. He is forced to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs, they would talked to him like he was some sort of servant, Aunt Petunia would even prohibited him to ask questions, “don’t ask questions.” The character of the Dursley is of a grotesque, abusive, and conservative family, and this is observed by their decision of hiding Dumbledore’s letter and trying to prevent Harry from reading his acceptance letter to Hogwarts. “I accept there’s something strange about you…always knew they’d come to a sticky end”, this is what Harry’s uncle said sharing the same ideals as…

    Rookmaaker's The Chronicles Of Narnia

    On page eight, Rookmaaker talks about how the 1800s in this manner, “Religion was fine as long as it was purely private and did not interfere with the important things in this world, science, philosophy, scholarship, the high arts.” I believe this is practiced even more in our century than his. Many people do not believe in God or Jesus and a lot of today’s definition of “art” supports this. However, there are still some authors and movie directors that not only believe but show this in their work. It is stated in Lewis’s biography that The Chronicles of Narnia, did, in fact, have a Christian theme. The main character portraying this was Aslan, the Lion and the King of Narnia, as he is said to have been a Jesus Christ figure. Another example…

    Hello

    Harry came from a family of apple farmers and was given the name-sign Apple by his older brother, Ray, because of how he loved to pick up the apples from the ground and carry them around in his pockets. He misses his family at school, but he has a few adventures to take his mind off of it. He sees his first motorcar on the way to a local hearing church on Sunday. He is taken by surprise and amazed to see something like that before. He seeks out to find another motorcar or something similar to it, maybe even find one in Muncy. He enjoyed this new sport of football that he learned in school and helped strategize a way to beat a team from a hearing school who came to play. With this type of interaction with other students from the school, Harry has managed to make new friends from his classmates. He also endured tutoring from Mr.Bertie to help teach him how to speak. At first, he wasn’t really interested in learning anything and easily became bored. But when Mr.Bertie took him to the stable and showed him how to stop a horse from running by just yelling, he became open to the idea of learning. Harry rapidly absorbed…

    The Divine Potter

    “Jeremiah's message was a mixture of judgment on the sinful nation of Judah; and hope, after judgment and exile, of a new covenant relationship. Comparing the parallels between Judah and the spiritually low tide of our nation today, what message and teaching could be drawn from Jeremiah's portrayal of God as the Divine Potter? In a world fractured by religious, social, political, and culture tensions, how might we Christ Followers relate Paul's concept of "When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son..." (Galatians 4:4 ESV) to an upside down 21st century world?”…

    Harry Potter Allusions

    The Harry Potter book series has sold over 450 million copies and is currently translated into almost every language on the face of the earth. Millions have faithfully followed the story about this magical world and have fallen in love with the many enchanting characters, but most do not know the prominence of classical Greek mythological allusions found in the beloved Harry Potter characters. J.K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, does a fantastic job with cleverly connecting most of her main characters to classical Greek/Roman mythological figures that share very similar personality traits (and even sometimes the same name) to their wizard counterparts.…

    Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay is a fantastic book in my opinion because, since it is in a script form, it is very easy to direct in your head. The great detail in the story that J.K. Rowling executes perfectly creates not only a good story, but a whole new world. The characters are very lovable and believable and dives deep into their emotions and feelings. However, one of my main problems with the book is that we don’t learn much about the characters. In the story, we are shown a small fraction of Newt’s early life, a glimpse of Tina’s past, and not much about Jacob other than his job and motivation. Although it doesn’t affect the story much, it would be preferable to learn more about them so that the readers…

    Albus Severus Potter

    Albus Severus Potter understood why he was “cursed” with the name and that his dad and he had one thing in common, they had struggles and flaws. Harry talked to his son and said, “Everything comes easy for James (Albus’s brother). My childhood was a constant struggle” (Rowling 306). Albus replied to his father, “So I am like you” (Rowling 306). Harry then said, “ Actually you're like your mom...you saved us” (Rowling 306). Back to Albus, “Shouldn’t I have done better?” (Rowling 307). Harry’s last words to this conversation with his son were, “ I ask myself the same questions...whatever label you were given- I know- the know-that heart is a good one. The names you have isn’t a burden. Albus Dumbledore had is trails too and Severus Snape...They…

    Book Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

    The plot starts when Sirius Black, a convicted murderer, escapes the prison of Azkaban. As Harry learns about Sirius Black’s unforgivable pass, he’s emotions start to rise and boil. As the book twists and turns, it follows Harry in his magical world not only with his friends Ron and Hermione, but also with the troubles that occur. The Dementors (huge cloaked, black, figures that float in the air) plays a huge part in the story. As part of a precaution, Dementors are put on Hogwarts ground to catch Sirius Black and protect students and teachers of Hogwarts. A new teacher was also introduced in this story, Professor Remus Lupin, who takes “Defence Against the Dark Arts”. Lupin also becomes very close to Harry. My favourite part of the story was when Harry caught the Snitch in the Quidditch Finals against the Slytherins.…
