A Comparison Of Harry Potter And Draco Malfoy

Family, a foundation to build an empire of a story from yet the easiest to tear down from guilt or the portrayal of guilt.The story depicts two very different siblings, one brother Manchester who is rich, successful, brawny, and has a knack for snacks. Widely different from Manchester is Skidmore due to the fact he is a sad, and creepy individual. Also he does not have a knack for snacks or sweets. Two divergent individuals, yet one unable to function without the help of the other. Now the story would not be complete without one brother becoming completely jealous and despising the other. Commonly this leads to several things such as arguing, fighting, or to better put it, leads to betrayal. Betrayal, a common theme among siblings, say one

The Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling are a well known and highly celebrated series. In the first novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the audience is introduced to the main character, Harry. Harry is an embodiment of many common themes and devices in literature. However, Rowling manages to employ these literary tropes while creating a story entirely different from any other. The novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone provides an example of how to effectively utilize common literary motifs and archetypes without being cliché.

In The Book Thief, many people made very strong bonds with each other and became like family. One of the most important themes is this novel is always love and care for each other. This novel didn’t just say that family is who people are born to. It says that family is through love, concern, and compassion that people have for someone. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, family is a largely portrayed theme as characters build strong and enduring relationships.

I believe family is such an important part in this family’s life because they are all that each other has got. They hold close to their family because they have been through so much and they see death all around them, so they see the importance of their family. They also are taught from a very young age to respect their elders in the family because they have seen much more and know much more about all aspects of life. They are viewed as wise and knowledgeable and the young family members cherish the opportunity to learn from them. In the movie Gran Torino one

Harry Potter is a fictional character invented by J.K Rowling in the series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Wikipedia, 2015). Harry is the main character in this series whose parents died when he was young and he was brought up by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.5). Harry was neglected by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.27). Harry is presented a whole new reality when he goes to the zoo one day and his integration into the magical world changes him from the foundation. These changes within him will be analysed using the developmental psychology theories of Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson to explain how the environment aided or obstructed Harry’s development.

Another strong theme from the book is the importance of family bonds, especially if that’s

Families can mean a lot of different things to different people. For some family is everything, just knowing that someone is there for you during a personal crisis to help you and provide you with love is comforting. However, at the same time a family can be heartless and relentless providing you with no comfort, instead just pain and misery. We all can agree that families shape our development and how we view the world. From childhood our thoughts and actions are shaped based on experiences from a sibling or parent that went through them. However, the influence of a family could be positive or negative, whether it is showing us the right side or perhaps making the same mistakes. In literature many writers have been influenced by their families two great examples are “A Brother’s Murder” by Brent Staples and “My father’s Life” by Raymond Carver, both writers express in great detail how families have shaped and affected them as individuals.

The family is the closest, most stable element in the boys life. LaJoe tries hard to make sure the boys are surrounded with positive influences so that they will grow up secure. This

Is family important to you? Are they with you through your life? Do they make you laugh and happy? Well the place in the book is a mess. The government is corrupted and the people were not fair. The rich were separated to a different part of the city away from the poor. Families were lost and abused like Day’s. In the Legend series, Marie Lu illustrates the theme that family is important to happiness through Day’s actions, Day’s symbolism and Day’s dialogue.

All this has added to the growing popularity of the Harry Potter brand that is everywhere today. Young readers can relate to Harry’s issues and the books create another world the readers can subconsciously ‘escape’ too.

It connects characters reuniting with family to stability and happiness (as in Pinocchio and Cinderella, Finding Nemo).

I 'm doing it because – I don 't reckon my dad would 've wanted them to become killers – just for you." (Rowling) Harry’s quote shows Harry has really matured and wants to do what’s right. Harry also shows maturity that he doesn 't want anyone other than Voldemort to die. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry’s quest is to discover Voldemort’s path by looking through the Pensieve and discovers Voldemort put his soul in things called Horcruxes. Harry must also accompany Albus Dumbledore to destroy one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes in the caves. After they get to the caves Harry must save Dumbledore’s life after he drinks poison. Harry must then fight Severus Snape after he “kills” Dumbledore. Harry believes he needs to kill Voldemort,"I am the Chosen One. I have to kill him. I need that memory." (Rowling). From books 1-6 Harry grows a lot to discover what he needs to do and why he needs to do it. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry’s quest is to escape the Death Eaters and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Voldemort calls to Harry and Harry realizes he is a Horcrux so he must accept death. Voldemort shouts Harry Potter is dead in front of everyone at Hogwarts. Harry springs up and attacks Voldemort. The final battle starts. Harry’s main goal is to face Voldemort and kill Voldemort’s snake, Nagini. While Harry is fighting Voldemort, Neville Longbottom kills the

The reason for this theme was to push that family is important. Most people aren’t as

An example of how her family values each other is her description of the conventions and norms of her family. They are thoroughly supportive of one another, attending every graduation, baby shower, birthday, and house warming party. Her father and siblings have burial plots together so that they are never separated. Life is lived with everyone being connected and concerned for not only each person’s well-being, but happiness as well. She says her “relatives form an alliance that represents a genuine and enduring love of family…”

Harry’s departure from his old life is evident once he steps on to Platform Nine and Three Quarters to board the Hogwarts Express (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). Leaving his previously known home is not difficult because of the ten years of neglect that occurred in the Dursley household. Harry has only been in two magical places and he already feels more comfortable than ever. Now that he has crossed over to the hidden world of magic, he is ready to embark on his adventure.
