I read the book Harry Potter And The Sorcerers Stone by: JK Rowling. In this book there are many very interesting characters. Even though there were so many colorful characters I found that the 2 most intriguing characters were Draco Malfoy and Albus Dumbledore. Even though these two characters aren’t the main characters but they caught my attention better than the main character ever did. Draco is a first year Slytherin student at Hogwarts. Harry first meets the Draco in Diagon Alley and dislikes

The Harry Potter films have had a lasting popularity for many speculated reasons. How could a series be successful in a world so different from it’s own? The varying appeal is due to childlike components on the surface‚ paired with underlying‚ more complex themes. The adventure of the story reels viewers in‚ but their are other elements at hand. The series seems to empathize and strike interest with people of older age. There is an interrelationship between the subliminal world and what appears behind

While writing the bestseller Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone J.K. Rowling was struggling on welfare in a coffee shop. Like Rowling‚ the heros in her novel are social outcasts. Harry is an orphan; Ron comes from poverty; and Hermione comes from a non-wizard family. Harry grows up in the non-magical world‚ raised by non-magical folk. He is maltreated because he is different‚ and to an extent an uninvited part of the family. The real world exhibits prejudice due to race‚ religion‚ gender and

Tolkien has experienced a resurgence of interest in the last two decades-in a large part thanks to Peter Jackson’s film adaptations of both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. However I do not wish to look at the movies‚ or indeed at any of Tolkien’s more prevalent work. I wish to focus on his poetry‚ the poems woven into the narrative of his popular novels (including revised versions published in The History of Middle-earth series) as well as his stand-alone pieces that may have little to do with
