Comparing The Book 'Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone'

“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”.

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.

There are many similarities and differences between the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling and the movie Matilda directed by Danny Devito. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is about how Harry goes to his nasty aunt and uncle’s house because his parents died from Lord Voldemort, and then he gets a invitation to go to Hogwarts, when he goes he has to face many adventures with his new friends. In Matilda she gets adopted by a family that don’t even love her like they should, and she goes to school and she meets some new friends and she has many adventures there. One difference that Harry Potter has that Matilda doesn’t is the theme of the book, the theme of the book is friends always come back.

Manipulative. Fearsome. Spiteful. These are three characteristics one associates with the White Witch, who is a character from C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. She is said to be part giantess while also being a descendant from Adam’s first wife Lilith. She is an evil witch who has named herself the Queen of Narnia although she is not the true queen at all as she is not even from Narnia but another land. Because of this she is shown to have magic that other inhabitants do not have which she used to help name herself queen. Regrettably, while she is ruling as this false queen she is shown to exhibit lass than desirable character traits you would want out of a

C.S. Lewis is immensely critical of the education system and this is a common theme throughout his work. He explores the failings of education through a Christian moral and ethical lens. By criticizing the lack of logic and emotional intelligence being taught in traditional education, he reveals to his readers the flaws in their thinking and seeks to undo the spiritual damage through his work. His novels provide the reader with emotional experiences that allow for the difficult ideas he espouses such as morality, the nature of the soul, sacrifices, and the afterlife, to feel more tangible and real.

Don’t you ever wish you could runaway and just go to your own world ?! And while you were in your own world you didn’t have to worry about time passing or anything changing !? Well in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” the fictional novel by C.S. Lewis that was made possible. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a fantasy novel that was published in 1979. Several years later the outstanding novel was turned into a movie in 2005 and was a hit. C.S. Lewis was not only a famous author, but he was a Christian apologist. He has many famous quotes one of my favorites is “I believe in God like I believe in the sun, not because I can see it, but because of it all things are seen.” The story all starts with four adventurous siblings Peter, Susan,

The “Harry Potter” series, “Charlotte 's Web” and “The Chronicles of Narnia” series all have something in common: they are beloved, classic books read by children throughout the world. But that’s not the only trait the novels share -- they have also all been challenged by various schools and organizations for religious purposes. “Harry Potter” and Charlotte 's Web” have been deemed blasphemous by some devout religious followers -- the former because it promotes witchcraft and the later because it gives humanistic qualities to animals. But it is not only because a book can be viewed as sacrilegious that it gets challenged on the grounds of religion. Those who challenged “The Chronicles of Narnia” did so because of its strong ties to Christianity, and people did not want to introduce such a strong Christian view to children. Whether a book is seen as denouncing or promoting religion, it can be considered a threat to the shaping of children’s spiritual beliefs. Hundreds of books have been challenged, and doing this is adults’ way of policing what a child should read. Specifically, banning a book for its religious implications tells children not only what they should and should not read, but also what they should and should not believe, as is the case with “Harry Potter,” “Charlotte 's Web” and “The Chronicles of Narnia.” By doing so, adults are unfairly denying children of their autonomy. In addition, these challenges have the potential to limit the number of stories to which

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 supreme ordeals.

Imagine you were stuck in a world where everyone is out to get you. Everyone you know is infected with a rage that makes them target you, and only you. They will go through whatever it takes to rip you to shreds, even if it kills them. The novel starts off in quite a sickening way, jumping straight into the plot and describing a boy getting brutally murdered by his mother and sister. They didn’t care that it was his birthday, they only wanted his blood. Through the next few chapters we are greeted by the three main characters, Daisy, Cal, and Brick. These people have one thing in common, and it’s that everyone is trying to kill them. They band together with other teens to try and figure out why the world is out to kill them.

I think the filmmakers in general made all of these differences in the movie compared to the book because the budget of the film and edit of time. For example, the movie could have cut out the potion test in the Philosopher’s Stone Chamber because of how long it would take to film, set up, and cost for the production. Another example would be how Harry does not meet Draco at Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions at Diagon Alley. The filmmakers probably did not have enough time to include this part because the film already shows Harry going into Ollivanders to shop for a wand, one out of the two shop encounters at Diagon Alley in the book. Changing the film adaptation from the book can also sometimes prove to be more interesting and enjoyable.

In the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book, Voldemort converses with Draco about Charity Burbage and Draco’s reactions when she dies is shocking. Although in the movie adaption of this book, Voldemort does not converse with Draco and when she is killed Draco suppresses his emotions. I will discuss how the novel represents this scene better than the movie, as the book illustrates how Draco is unable to support the Dark lord.

From the author of The Lord of The Rings trilogy, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the same crew behind their film adaptations, Peter Jackson and his writing team, The Battle of the Five Armies is the final instalment in a trilogy of films based on the classic fantasy novel, The Hobbit.

Hermione and Eilonwy: Comparing and Contrasting their Significances to the Hero’s Successes in J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Lloyd Alexander’s The Book of Three

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling, when Harry discovers a mysteriously and brilliantly annotated potions book, Hermione Granger, a quick-witted young witch, immediately goes searching for the self-described ‘Half-Blood Prince’. While Harry assumes that the author must be male, Hermione instantly corrects him and exclaims, “The truth is that you don’t think a girl would have been clever enough!” (Rowling 538). Hermione expresses her outrage at the assumption that a girl would be incapable of success in potions, another way of saying that science is not women’s work. Hermione is deemed the “cleverest witch of her age”, achieving the highest marks in virtually all disciplines including the wizarding equivalents of math

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?
