Essays on Harry Potter

Introduction

Meaning in life (MIL) is a concept which is fundamental to numerous individuals as it is based on their values and it can be a source of motivation. According to Allan (2014), virtues and character strengths have been linked augmented levels of fulfillment and meaning in an individual’s life. In the book “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” the concept of meaning in life is illustrated by a young orphan who pursues a great destiny. This story follows a young boy – Harry Potter who lost his parents at the age of one year after they were murder ...

Message of Gender

The most powerful characters in the movie series Harry Potter are Albus Dumbeldore, Harry Potter and Lord Voldermort. Although, women are also shown as powerful characters, but the emphasis is on either supporting the Dark Lord or the Order, both led by males. Therefore, the movie series Harry Potter clearly outlines men as the central characters in the film series. Even though the book is fictional and based on magical world, the message sent out from his scenario is that men are more powerful wizards. Another way to look at the film series and its relation to gender is ...

The Post War society was going through a transition period. The milestone document of the United Nations in the history of mankind is The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). With this document, the United Nations have protected human rights regardless of gender, race, religion ethnicity etc. The United Nations agreed that every person is free by born and he/she should be respected. He/she must be considered as human being and thus her rights of freedom must be protected. The two incidents were very important in the world history; first is the Civil Rights Movement and the feminist movement. ...

Attachment Theory

John Bowlby developed the attachment theory and was it to describe attachment as, “a lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Cherry, 2016). Attachment theory is focused on the bonds and relationships between people, especially long-term relationships that include relationships such as parent-child and romantic partners. The earliest behavioural theories claimed that attachment is a learned behavior. There are four specific styles of attachment styles; secure attachment, fearful attachment, preoccupied attachment, and dismissive attachment. This paper will analyse two of these styles.

Secure Attachment

Explanation of Concept Adults with secure attachment style tend to be greatly satisfied with their relationships. Children having ...

Elves are mythical creatures that belong to the supernatural world. While they have Germanic origins, having first appeared in the myths of Europe, elves became popular throughout the world in mid-19th century with the introduction of popular culture. While their description is vague in stories, they are often imagined today as tall, beautiful human-like creatures, with pointy ears. Traditionally, “the hidden people” have been performing tasks similar to those of human beings, and have the same basic social structures in the society. Elves’ relationship with humans is ambivalent, which allowed for a variety of representations in popular media. Thus, ...

Elves are mythical creatures that belong to the supernatural world. While they have Germanic origins, having first appeared in the myths of Northern Europe, elves became popular throughout the world, particularly after the birth of cinema. While their description is vague in stories, they are often imagined today as tall, beautiful human-like creatures, with pointy ears. Traditionally, “the hidden people” have been performing tasks similar to those of human beings, and also have the same basic social structures in the society. While the traditions of elf stories go back thousands of years, they gained true fame the twentieth century, ...

There is no doubt that adventure fiction books are popular nowadays. A large number of readers, both young and adults, are expressing their fascination about such books. In fact, because of their popularity, most of these books are being adapted into films and motion pictures. However, some people may not know that these adventure books captivate the attention of children and adults equally although most of them are being classified and labeled as children’s literature. In 1978, Ellen Raskin published The Westing Game, a children’s novel showcasing the adventures of Sam Westing’s sixteen ...

Miraculous might be the most popular elements in visual culture throughout the history. The term first appears in the religious context, and is now widely adapted in popular culture including films, TV shows, and animations, etc. Synonyms of miraculous include: supernatural, magical and marvelous etc. The audience of those miraculous visuals, whether religious or not, is always attracted to this interesting element. It is different from the violent or the sentimental since the visuals target a really wide range of audience, regardless of age, race, sex, and taste. According to Hood, “ever since we are born, we generate knowledge ...

Question One

The sales of the Lego’s movie themed products keyed to popular film franchises, such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Spiderman are performing well according to the company’s main shareholder and the Chief Executive Officer Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen who has served the company from 1979 to 2004 (Lego). The increased sales can be attributed to the increased number of alliances with Walt Disney Company and Lucas Films, which is the creator of the popular Star Wars Series. According to my opinion, I think this was the right strategy for the company to adopt considering the ...

Literature Review: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone"

Literature Review: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" J.K.Rowling’s first book in the serious of the record breaking book series Harry Potter began with “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” The book starts the reader on a journey into Harry’s earlier part of life when he was just a baby. In a horrible fight with the evil Lord Voldemort, Harry’s parents are killed, but somehow he manages to survive Voldemort. This becomes a very big sign for those in the Wizarding world who celebrate Voldemort’s defeat against Harry. Unfortunately Harry is left with ...

Everyone has heard of the acclaimed series of novels about Harry Potter by the British writer Joanne Rowling. Many read books and watched movies. Comparison of films and books has become commonplace, both in social networks and in various forums and articles. Books and film stories about “a boy who survived” have many distinguishing features, as Joanne Rowling was finishing the story about Harry at the time when the first movie came out in the early 2000s. The peculiarity is that the film is not much different from the original book, as Rowling herself had in many ways a ...

Leadership is typically defined as a particular trait that an individual has that inspires and motivates individuals to be effective in their lives. Specifically, effective leaders are those who not only build and coach a team, but assist in helping individuals effectually set priorities and achieve their goals. The concept of leadership is often reasoned to be both a skill that can be practiced, and a particular area of operation in business that can be thoroughly and extensively researched. Books and films have frequently showcased the concept of leadership with the hope of conveying a unique message to audiences ...

One of the effective formulae of making the literary work best seller is to widen the scope of readership. This scope can be extended through getting maximum number of readers for the novel or fiction. One of the popular genres in literature is a “Crossover” fiction. It can ensure wide readership, As a result, the crossover fiction has been emerging as a new form of literary work. Crossover novels are regarded as a new trend and it commonly assumed to be the invention of twenty first century (Becket, 1). This presumption according to Becket (2) is not true as ...

For this assignment I have selected the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part I movie (IMDb). The relationship I want to discuss is the friendship between Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. The movie described the time of war, when people could trust nobody. Three friends were travelling together, searching for the horcruxes – pieces of the soul of the evil warlock to be able to kill him. It was a time when Ron and Hermione left their families to help their friend Harry, who had no parents. This was very challenging to all of them. Together with the influence ...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by Joanne K. Rowling is the first book in a series of novels about Harry Potter, a young magician. The book is commonly referred to as children’s literature, though a deeper insight into its plot and symbols used by the author reveals much more essential, even encyclopedic, knowledge about British history and folklore as well as ancient mythology. Something that may initially seem to be just products of Rowling’s imagination turns out to be real things rooted in history and traditions, fairy tales and myth. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’ ...

The Musical Arts Concert Series, “Fantastic Beasts,” was very good. I enjoyed it a lot and I could tell others in the audience also thought it was good. Some of the performances I have been to have too many pieces, or the pieces are not placed in an order that is pleasing to the audience. This was not the case with, “Fantastic Beasts.” Though there were a few pieces that I did not like, the concert overall was enjoyable. It began with, “The Lamb.” I thought the text translations were nice; when the choir sang parts that were in ...

In this paper I will look at the movie “The Wizard of Oz” through the Musical/ Fantasy/ adventure genre lens. The film is about a young girl who is whisked off into a magical place. A place that is full of witches, munchkins, flying monkeys and actual magic. It is a place of perilous adventure and colorful and interesting personalities. The movie can also be seen as a member of the Family film genre in that the ultimate message of the move is “there is no place like home” (The Wizard of Oz). The Wizard of Oz was a ...

1. Harry, Voldemort, and Professor Dumbledore all have power but different types of power. Identify the type of power they have/use and give an example of each from the movie. Harry uses soft power, including expert and referent types. We can assume that from the beginning he utilizes expert power, as he is admired among wizards because of his unique experience of battling the most dangerous magician of that time. This type of power is also characteristic of him on the quidditch field, as he performs skilful stunts at the first lesson. However, as the plot develops, he meets ...

Throughout history, there have been numerous acts of fiendishness which been masked by the accumulation of intelligence. Evil and intelligence are concepts that are directly related because with one comes the other. This manifestation is evident in many situations that occur, whether factual or fiction. These cases are witnessed in Genesis, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as the military. The evil in intelligence is evident in “the Book of Genesis” simply through Eve. Satan first asked Eve about the tree from which they were told not to eat (Jerson 66). Satan was informed by Eve ...

Social identity is defined as the behavioral clusters or groups of humans beings derived from the way they choose to accept, embrace and interpret a set of beliefs, values and norms and formulate these as a way of life . For example when taking a reference of boys and girls; a societal identity cluster of children based on gender, it is heavily notable that the interests of these two groups are deeply varied. The different societal derived and almost dictated interests and needs of boys and girls are easily identifiable. It is interestingly strange how the society has unconsciously outlaid ...

People generally believe that the Harry Potter book series is destined for children and teenagers. The book series about the adventures of a young wizard and his friends in an enchanted land change with every book. As the protagonists grow up from being children to being teenagers, the story also changes to become darker and more violent. This series addresses young people, who are supposed to grow up reading the series, and the books change with each stage in the growing up process. However, many adults also read books for children and young adults, and I am one of ...

The high school education system, or any learning set-up for that matter, is designed at a certain phasing that is expected to fit the majority, if not all, of the students' learning curve at the age bracket it was meant to support. But, as to any trend of data in most statistics, the speed or phasing of learning of student follow, say, a bell curve, which is to say that there are those who would be learning at a faster phase than the standard phasing in which the high school curriculum is set. A popular fictional example of this is Hermione Granger ...

Response to the Movie “We are Wizards”

The movie “We are Wizards” is a documentary film that portrays how the renowned Harry Potter series influenced the American youth. It shows that the franchise of J.K. Rowling’s movie has spawned movies and books, but also a lot of genres of creativity such as musical bands. The fans of the series have grown in their creative genres as Harry Potter grows up in his magical world in the movie. Young people, particularly women, were inspired to produce Harry Potter-related blogs, images, and other forms of art. Although the novel has great impact upon the American society and yields ...

Political correctness is a growing concern in today’s tender climate, so much so that it seems individuals cannot speak their mind or take a stance on anything for fear of being dubbed too radical or too lackadaisical about an issue. Equality between genders is not immune to this problem, but also a hot-button issue for political correctness. The word “feminist” is a trigger for some, a warning that allows people to understand you are either an enemy, or a friend. It is unfortunate that there is such a divide based on a simple word because feminism’s true goal is only to bring equality among the ...

Harry Potter and his companions reliably break controls and endeavor to take care of adult issues out of the question of grown-up ability, brainpower, and inspiration. In spite of the fact that the postulated conduct may be regular in teenagers' writing, the Harry Potter series, particularly in later portions, takes rebellion of the youth to an incredible extent. Harry's family is feeble and gutless; rich characters are voracious and despicable. In the film series, visuals like neighborhoods with many indistinguishable houses fortify the thought of heedless congruity. The suggestion is that this designed world reflects the estimations of today's ...

Rowling’s classics “The Harry Potter Series,” looks at the ways in which power corrupts the minds of individuals in the society. Similarly, the series looks at the ways in which individuals use power for good and shows that power does not corrupt everyone but also has a positive impact on the way individuals behave in different spheres. Lord Voldemort is the antagonist in the story and he shows that the desire for powers destroys good intentions. The need for power in “The Half-Blood Prince” and “The Deathly Hallows” leads to a number of deaths of innocent individuals. Harry Potter, the ...

Communication is a very important tool for our everyday life. The human race, since the days when no language had developed, knew the significance of communication. They used it to pass important information about their culture using wall drawings and to this day, we can use those wall drawings to visualize their lives. Writing is one way that authors can use to communicate to their readers and share their emotions (Watson 56). Authors employ different themes and symbolism to bring out ideologies and to capture our imagination. This paper will focus on the themes from a variety of novels and see ...

Harry Potter books have explored various critical issues that affect people in their day to day lives. Particular issues such as peer pressure, intolerance, prejudice and good citizenship have been tackled, and hence this has facilitated learning. The enormous global responses to the Harry Potter series have indeed made the books become the subject of serious academic interpretation and literary criticism. Different scholars have tried to establish the reasons as to why the Harry Potter series have been immensely successful. The genre used in the Harry Potter books is dynamic and complex. It incorporates various elements including that of ...

He elaborates that reading is value-addition. I have experienced the same flavor. More than once, I have had to repeat a word that evaded the ears of my listeners. I had used a term that most of them were not familiar with. I have realized that the more I read, the better I absorb vocabulary and practice. I can communicate effectively, and words flow easily from my mind to the mouth. The more you read the more words you have available to use in everyday conversations. Reading teaches you many new words and ways to use them in daily life. Good ...

I desire to pursue a topic on how the Harry Potter books have revolutionized over time. The author, J.K Rowling has since published several books that have all emerged as best sellers. The books are indeed impressive and pleasant to people of all ages particularly those that have an interest in suspense, adventure and mystery. The books are without a doubt, interesting and readable hence it will be exciting to note the different approaches incorporated by the author that has seen her maintain a high rating standard over the years.

How did J.K Rowling’s style develop during the course of the ...

The contemporary “hero” that I want to focus on is Harry Potter from the Harry Potter Series. The story of Harry Potter spans seven books, and we meet him just as he begins his journey as a wizard. Harry Potter, in my opinion, falls under the “heroic” standards in ancient mythology because he fits the basic criteria of a “hero” and is similar to Diomedes from the Iliad. It is apparent when we learn of Harry’s infancy and his tragic childhood that includes losing his parents, surviving a horrible attack that should have left him dead, and defeating the most powerful ...

A werewolf is a person presented in folklore, superstition or in mythical stories as a human being who is capable of changing into a wolf, at the complete rising of the full moon, while retaining human intelligence. Throughout the history, the myth of the werewolf was used in a lot of stories having different interpretation of the creature. For a better understanding of this evolution, I will pick two different stories regarding werewolf, in different historical periods, medieval and modern and, I will discuss how time passing influences the aspects of the werewolf. For the medieval period I have chosen one of the ...

What is magic? In my opinion, magic is something that is difficult to explain with words. Magic captures your being like an invincible claw and forces you to think about things that you would not normally think about. However, the steps of creating magic in an essay are similar as to the process of magician who creates magic in a show. Magicians cannot just create magic from nothing. They have to cast a spell or do some invincible moves to convert their energy into magic. The steps that we are using in creating an essay are like casting a spell because we ...

Use one of the following quotes from Northrop Frye's The Educated Imagination to consider how literary criticism can help us unpack a creative text. For example, how can the study of literature help us better understand, think more clearly or feel more sensitively about children or childhood? “Imagination gives us both a better and a worse world than the one we usually live with, and demands that we keep looking steadily at them bothLiterature gives us an experience that stretches us vertically to the heights and depths of what the human mind can conceive, to what corresponds to the conceptions of ...

Introduction:

Edgar Allen Poe was a great storyteller and one of the most important fiction horror story writers of his age. He was also credited with inventing the detective story when he came out with his Auguste Lupin character that was based in Paris and is rather a forerunner of Sherlock Holmes. In fact three of the classic Dupin cases; ‘The Purloined Letter’, ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’and ‘The Mystery of Marie Roget depict three classic situations which continue to affirm the point that Poe was the father of the detective novel. However this makes us observe the clarity with which ...

The books Harry Potter and The magicians are fictional novels that take us through the world of wizardly in the lives of two young people. A lot has been told about the ability of magicians to transform and change things using mystical powers. Magic as narrated in the books is all about imagining something and bringing it into reality using some powers. The stories are very similar just that one is told in the perspective of an eleven-year boy who out of curiosity decided to venture into the world of magic. To fulfil his ambition, he enrols to a magic ...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J. K. Rowling Rowling’s book describes every child’s tribulation they can go through in becoming an individual, learning loyalty, making choices that influence their lives, having a purpose for their lives and gaining respect from their peers. The story is based on a young boy whose transformation from a forgotten orphan into a distinguished individual and later into a hero represents the hopes of many children worldwide. There are several themes in the story, they are: humility, rebellion, love, choice, friendship. The most significant is love, humility and choice. Harry is humble ...

J.K. Rowling’s literary excellence is exuded in the Harry Potter series which stirs the human soul with the artistic quintessence and imaginative zeal of the stalwart author. The story meanders through the path of Harry Potter’s life and creates a realm of fantastic aura which captivates the innumerable hearts of the avid readers. The books reiterate the thematic consistencies of friendship and faith. The themes of love and sacrifice are also echoed in the books of the series. The characters reflect the deepest emotions of human nature and comply with the thematic pronouncements. Biblical analogies can be drawn ...

One of the highly-rated movies and best-selling novels in the 21st Century is the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. In fact, in addition to the 8-series novel, the movie series definitely gained everybody’s interest. However, there is a contradicting issue regarding this masterpiece, wherein many Christians and conservatives claim that it is not good for watching or reading. The inclusion of witchcraft, sorcery, magic, and so on throughout the series led these people to judge the movie as violent and inappropriate for the public – especially their children. Indeed, the Bible itself stands against such practices. It does not ...

A Compare and Contrast A Compare and Contrast Harry Potter, the series of J.K Rowling’s fantasy novels has been one of the most popular book-series in history of literature. Millions of readers, especially children used to wait earnestly for the release of every new book from the series. Undoubtedly, the movie series based on the novel too got extreme attention from children as well as teenagers worldwide. But, those who have read the Harry Potter books find the films to be less or different in content than the original stories. It is true that when it ...

Apparently, Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings are, arguably, the most popular fantasy novels of all time. The two books narrate stories that take the reader away from the actual world into a world of dream-like happenings where the impossible happens and humans have tremendous capabilities (Fantasy Worlds 56). Apparently, the authors of these books borrow from the rich and complex culture of the ancient world, which was characterized by such arts as sorcery and witchcraft. While there are many differences and similarities between the two legendary novels, the characters in both have extraordinary powers. Many researchers in ...

When Comparing J.K. Rowling’s novel “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” with other works of literature such as “The Secret Garden” or “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” we can identify influences that may have contributed to the popularity of the Harry Potter series. All of these three books chronicle the adventures of a lonely child who finds happiness (and challenges!) through magical or imaginary worlds. About his secret world Harry states, "It was a dreamI dreamed a giant called Hagrid came to tell me I was going to a school for wizards. When I open my eyes I'll be at ...

Forum Response #1:

One of the adults who appears as an heroic figure in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, without overshadowing Harry’s own growth in the novel, is Albus Dumbledore. While it is a given that Dumbledore is a more advanced magician than Harry and has considerably more power than Harry does, at this stage in his development, Rowling keeps Dumbledore from taking the limelight away from the young Muggle. One way in which she does this is through the use of self-deprecating humor. As Dumbledore laments, “’One can never have enough socks[a]nother Christmas has come and gone and I ...

Book review

The two books St. Augustines Confessions and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkiban have a rich thematic depth. There is also an almost similar setting and audience target. With main characters being of the same age and of the same purpose in the books, the similarity in these two pieces is obvious. Both of these two characters act as agent of change but described at different angles. Harry plays the part where he is supposed to change some ones character traits while I Augustine the author aims at changing himself. In the two books the theme of change ...

With respect of the launch date for Harry Potter and the deathly hallows II, Warner bros is expected not to change the dates. There exists Nash equilibrium at this point. This is because based on research, moving the debut date would welcome competition from other debuts. However, this would not help either company. The biggest bet would be to stay put and not change the dates for the production of the new Harry Potter movie since it would be closing on a series of movies they have produced. If Harry Potter’s Deathly Hallows is moved forward even a week from ...

1. In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, schoolmaster Albus Dumbledore says, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." How do you interpret this statement in light of what you know about motivation?

I think this statement contains so much wisdom. One’s character – which is made up of individual choices – defines who the person is more than how much he can do in life because of his abilities. For instance, a person may be very skilled in the use of technology. He is so adept in ...

Eragon is a remarkable work of fantasy in that it was written by a 15-year-old boy, Christopher Paolini. The scope of the action, inventive language and overall idea make the first offering in the Inheritance Cycle an enjoyable read and all the more amazing for having been conceived of by a teenager. On the other hand, it is difficult to think of Eragon as a truly original work because of its many similarities to other works of literary fantasy, with influences ranging from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter and the Star Wars saga. A story featuring a dragon, ...

When one is going to talk about redemption it appears to be fairly logical to start with a brief pre-history; that is to explain what actually made a character to seek for redemption. Redemption basically means that an individual improved himself or herself sometimes even making a sacrifice for it. Therefore some mistake that was made in the past always precedes the redemption. The wrong choice that led to horrible consequences usually results in great moral sufferings of the one who had made it. Due to the fact that anyone in the world can make a mistake, and thousands of people have experienced ...

Of the narratives, I have pursued in my all too-short span of life, "Shame" has as much impact as any great, eternal missive to the sum total of mankind.

Any message that is deep-rooted and profound can strike us considerably without having to be written in a long story. The story conveys a message about humanity and morality, the way in which the character has been described and his narrative mentioned, it is enough to make the reader feel touched. So many questions - here is one of my favorites: why are there TWO narratives here?There are two narratives because they ...

In JK Rowling's Harry Potter book series, the protagonists follow a format that is typical of the Joseph Campbell monomyth - a lowly boy finds out that he is 'special,' picks up friends along his quests, is taken to a magical new world where he has a greater deal of importance than his previous circumstances, and follows his destiny by defeating monsters and villains. However, Rowling's take on 'monsters' applies to Harry himself - those who are different are always persecuted against, even by those the reader may consider the heroes of the piece. Being different is what allows those with unique ...

In this report, we discuss the relationship among the four variables which are commonly used to measure the success of a motion picture and establish whether there is a coherent correlation from one variable to another. As “industry practitioners rely heavily on tradition, conventional wisdom, and simple rules of thumb, which often have not – but should – be closely examined” (Eliashberg, Elberse, & Leenders, 2005 p.1), there is a need to perform more studies and produce reports such as this. The study is organized around the four variables commonly used to measure the success of a motion picture: the opening weekend gross sales, ...

Abstract

Contemporary knowledge and technology has transformed the world in almost all aspects, including the business area. It is exciting how one can just shop on-line and have the purchases delivered without much effort. A lot of information is also available online. Business entities using these services have to develop a proper mode of communicating with the audience, especially those concerned with children’s interests (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). Besides communicating the message, they have to consider the societal regulations as to what concerns children as discussed below.

The novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone is one of the interesting novels in the world. The writer of the novel widely explained a story. Several novels have different perspective on the content of the novel. The popularity of the novel raises concern especially by religious leaders on whether the novel is actually appropriate for use by children.

Although the harry potter’s series have all the qualities of a book that capture the interest of many it should not be generalized as best or worst. It is therefore the goal of this work to analyze various views from ...

While in high school, I became interested in sociology when I took a class about social and cultural phenomena. It is fascinating to watch cultural trends change over time. My goal is to become a journalist so I can study and report on sociology.

Cultures differ on what is acceptable behavior in their society. For example, people from the United States shake hands when they greet each other while people from the Japanese culture bow when they greet each other. Why? How did these different behaviors develop? What is the significance of each behavior? Researching these differences interests me.

In his book, The Philosopher’s Stone, Rowling J.K. shows the world that good things will always triumph versus evil. This book begins with a perfect description of the Dursley’s family who live on Privet Drive. Vernon Dursley, Harry’s uncle is an overweight man, shabby in appearance with a bushy moustache. Petunia, his wife is a thin blonde-haired woman talented in spying on everything. Their obese and totally spoil son Dudley crowns the family. The Dursley’s do not like anything peculiar in life. Petunia has completely ignored her sister Lily Potter who has magical powers. They feel that the ...
