Albus Dumbledore Wiesel's 'Twelfth Night'

The child may have escaped that night with only a scratch on his forehead, a scar that was not only a reminder of a horrific event, but also a connection between an innocent child and the evil lord Voldemort by transforming Harry into a Horcrux’s and making him the chosen one to defeat him when the time came. Harry Potter’s early years seemed normal, living with extended relatives who did not view him as their own and who seemed cruel to him at times. Missing his parents and always feeling like an outsider Harry finally reaches the age of 11, and finds out that it was time to go to “Hogwarts” the school for wizards. A place where the once lonely and neglected kid encountered true friends, some may say the best two friends anybody could ever ask for, Ron and Hermione and let’s not forget Neville Longbottom who will be a very

At the beginning of the series, readers see Harry does not have a nice and easy life. His parents died in a terrible car accident, or so he is told, and he is forced to live with the only family he has left: the Durlseys.

Dudley is Harry's cousin who is treated and acts like a spoiled brat and, on the account of his large size, beats Harry at school and at home.

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).

In this film, Harry Potter experiences the three stages of the rite of passage by Arnold Van Gennep. In the first stage, separation, the participant is identified to be symbolically departed from their old self, “the person is detached from the roles and obligations that have been associated with their lives up until that time” (Nye 2008, 146).

After Harry realizes that he has the chance to get away from his abusive lifestyle, he leaves with Hagrid to attend Hogwarts. The second stage of Gennep’s theory is liminality. In this

"Well, once the insults and the accusations were out of the way. They pulled him out into the street, beat him, humiliated him. Then his boss came out and poured pig blood and guts over him. Poor Harry has nobody to fall back on. When they told him to leave – exile of all the sickest things – he done so immediately. Apparently they said if he'd ever came back to cause them harm, he'd be strung up – and that was by a police officer."

Harry Potter grew up alone without anyone to help guide his journey through life. When Harry was just a baby, his parents were killed which left a hole in Harry’s life.
