Developmental Psychology of Harry Potter 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.

In 1999 Rowling sold the film rights of the first four Harry Potter books to Warner Bros. for a reported £1 million. The first film was released in London on the 14th of November in 2001. The plot of both the book and movie are very similar with subtle differences and follows Harry Potter, a young wizard who discovers his magical heritage as he makes close friends and a few enemies in his first year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With the help of his friends, Harry faces an attempted resurgence of the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents, but failed to kill Harry when he was just a year old.

Half-Blood Prince is easily one of the better books in the Harry Potter series, though each is a masterpiece. But the 6th installment of a 7-part series is bound to be full of great moments in the story. There remains a great deal unanswered in this book, however, and the 7th will surely need to be no smaller than an average encyclopedia. Somehow as I was reading this book, I felt that I was learning more and at a quicker rate than in Order of the Phoenix, but so many of Harry's problems and questions took so long to reach any sort of answer or resolution that I still ended up not knowing many of the secrets I expected to be revealed in this book. It must be that Rowling, in her grand scheme, is saving much for the last book. One thing seems

Beauty and the Beast is a story about a pampered prince (played by Dan Stevens) who, because of his arrogance, is cursed and thus gets turned into a hideous beast. He can only be returned to his human form if someone is able to love him, and, in turn, he is able to learn to love. Thanks to the actual human actors in the live action film, the producers are able to portray this essential piece of the story well. The other main character, Belle (played by Emma Watson), is a brainy, beautiful, and light-hearted girl. She voluntarily becomes the Beast’s prisoner after she offers herself in exchange for her father (he accidently wanders to the Beast’s castle during a cold winter night, and is taken prisoner). As time passes, Belle and the Beast become close. Unfortunately, during this time, the town also learns the Beast lives on the outskirts of their village, and they are frightened,
