Comparing J. K Rowling's Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are similar, but also different in so many ways. The two magical worlds both have a special place in my heart and I am an avid fan of both. I read the entire Harry Potter series in a few months at the age of 10 and I constantly re-read them, but I also watched Fantastic Beasts 4 times in the theatre and I have posters of the main characters all over my room. I decided to analyze, compare, and contrast the two most wonderful things on the planet.

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling is a magical story about a boy who set on a heroic journey to save his home. Along the way he shows great heroism, courage, and natural intelligence as he navigates his way through Hogwarts and it’s mystery’s. Harry Potter’s story left a mark in every audience member's heart and a permanent fondness for the magical story in their minds.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Caroll was originally published on November 26, 1865. On the other hand, the movie version, directed by Clyde Geronimo, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske and produced by Walt Disney, was published in 1951. Carroll's book has twelve chapters and begins by describing a girl who named Alice that falls down a hole and finds herself in wonderland. In comparison, the movie begins with a scene not included in the book in which Alice sings about “her world,” foreshadowing wonderland. In the beginning, the versions are similar. Alice follows the rabbit because she is bored with her sister who only wants to read books with pictures. When she follows the rabbit, Alice finds herself in a different world. The difference is that in the book when Alice comes to the place, she finds the rabbit and follows him until she sees many doors. In the movie, however, the door talks to her instead.

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.

Fantasy appeals to us, to put it crudely, because of the relationship between magic and morality. An alternate world filled with strange and wonderful things, a world defined by imagination, gives us a setting in which to lose ourselves within. J.K. Rowling has done this and has captured the minds and hearts of readers all around the world with her bestselling series “Harry Potter”. As we engage in the engrossing narrative following Harry Potter and his friends, some may be able to relate to the lives of such characters. J.K. Rowling takes an undeniably riveting approach to showcasing the round characterizations throughout her novel "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone" to such a degree that the reader can personally identify with such characters.

The West African figure Anansi, as seen in Anansi Owns All Tales That Are Told, The Ants Burden, and Why Anansi’s Head is Small and His Behind is Big and the modern Western figure Barty Crouch Jr. found in the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire both feature trickster qualities. In both of these works, these characters and their actions as tricksters are comparable. The transformations Anansi and Barty Crouch Jr. make are testimonies to their portrayal as tricksters. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch Jr. transforms into Professor Moody, while in Anansi Owns All Tales That Are Told and Why

  The Harry Potter world appeals to many people everywhere but, it is lesser known that its stories follow the same tropes as numerous other books and movies. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling and “The Odyssey” by Homer both closely relate in the fact that they follow the Hero's Journey, a pattern of narrative identified by Joseph Campbell. Both “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling and “The Odyssey” by Homer each follow the Hero’s Journey tropes, including their mentors, allies, and ordeals.

In the previous century there have been two major series of fantasy novels; "Lord of the Rings" and more recently "Harry Potter". The genre, fantasy, is very broad, but generally contains one main character, the protagonist, who is fighting for, or against something, often against evil. In both these novels the main protagonist is fighting against evil and endures a kind of adventure and personal growth. As in most fantasy novels, the main characters are in an ulterior world, which is comparable in many ways. I intend to investigate into some of the many comparable components of these two novels.

Love has been told to have the power to change a man’s demeanor, shift a person’s values, and create façades that can hide or affirm the love that person feels. The word façade is most commonly used in regards to architecture, which defines it as an outward appearance or the face of a building, but it has also come to be tied to the psychology of an individual. A façade in regards to psychology is associated with an outer falsehood that conceals an internal element of the individual, which they do not want visible. Often they maintain the façade in order to be more appealing to the person they are affectionate towards. However, love’s influence in the creation and maintaining of the façade means far more than just trying to be more appealing

Do you think Harry Potter is better than The Hunger Games? I think not. The Hunger Games was published September 14, 2008. Most kids, who are 12-18, like this book.

In recent years, two books have come about to be immensely popular on the market. Those books are Twilight and Harry Potter. Harry Potter is about adolescent wizard and his best friends; they attend a school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main story is Harry 's quest to defeat the evil wizard Lord Voldemort. He wants to control the wizarding world and overpower non-magical people; he wants to get rid of his oppressors which just happen to be, Harry’s parents. Twilight is about a girl named Isabella, who has moved to a new town and does not know anyone in her new town. She meets a boy named Edward Cullen, who is later revealed to be a vampire. She also meets another boy, Jacob Black, who is a werewolf. She falls in love with both of them and is having a hard time deciding who should have her heart entirely. These two books are both plentiful, but the problem is: Which book is better?

“Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in on another still…. love and live in that which is omnipresent…. they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends… though they may be said to die… their friendship and society are… ever present, because immortal.” –William Penn, More Fruits of Solitude. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is J.K. Rowling’s seventh book in the Harry Potter series. The series is about a young wizard, Harry Potter, who has traveled and learned things that will help him defeat his archenemies, The Dark Lord. In this novel, there are two sides to the story: the good side with Harry Potter and his friends, and the evil side with Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is the final novel in a seven book series, about the fight between good and evil. In this novel, Ron Weasely is on the ‘good side’ of the battle, while Draco Malfoy is on the ‘evil side.’ Their relationship is similar to the Biblical relationship of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot; they are in a battle of their own. Every corner they turn, new temptations face them and taunt them to do evil, or act against it and do what is good. Ron Weasely and Jesus Christ are faced with difficult situations, but are able to overcome them with humorous remarks and stories. Draco Malfoy and Judas Iscariot are succumbed in evilness and continue to do wrong, until the end.

We will look into what people think of Harry Potter books. Why people think the way they do. What they hope to achieve but they actions. How the burning of books help or hurt the authors. How the author showed in here books her own struggles with her faith. How Harry’s world and christianity are parallel to each other and are the same in ways. Who are at the front of the book burnings and how they feel and why.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows follows the method that JK Rowling, the writer uses for all of the Harry Potter books - all seven of the titles in the series are Harry Potter and the. In this situation, the "Deathly Hallows" are the three mysterious items at the coronary heart of the tale. Harry, Ron, and Hermione have the super mission of figuring out what those are and how to use them to defeat Voldemort - that is to mention, to keep the world. This identify alerts us to the fact that there may be possibly greater at stake here than the standard, run-of-the-mill magic objects; there may be an air of sacredness and gravity right here that suggests that this installment will without a doubt be a count of lifestyles and loss of life. Rowling performed around with other feasible titles as nicely: Harry Potter and the Elder Wand and Harry Potter and the Peverell Quest.
