Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

The Harry Potter book series written by J.K. Rowling took the world by storm when The Sorcerer’s Stone was released in 1997. Adults, teens, and children around the world read and enjoyed the following six books and movies by buying robes and wands, and waiting patiently in long lines at midnight for the release of the newest films. Harry’s story has been translated into 60 languages and has been so successful that J.K. Rowling was the first person to ever become a billionaire by being a writer. Even with all the positive popularity, there are some people, often Christian parents, who “denounce the Harry Potter series, claiming that they will make children want to become wizards and witches” (Black). Other parents agree that the books

When people grow up a certain way, thinking in a certain way it’ll inevitably come to affect them later on in life. This is especially true in the cases of personal philosophy, religion or any moral code of ethics. But sometimes, one’s religion starts negatively impacting the education of one’s child and the education of the nation's youth as a whole. In Nancy Flanagan Knapp's article,“In Defense of Harry Potter”, she makes the argument that although the Harry Potter series has come under flak, and even been banned in places, it’s still a very useful tool in furthering the education of young people. Knapp analyzes this point using a plethora of well thought out, well researched, and exceedingly well worded rhetorical strategies, and in the end she uses ethos, logos, and pathos to effectively convey her arguments.

The Harry Potter series is the best book series ever. On top you see wizards, wand, and other cool magical things every human wants to be able to do. But deep down Harry Potter is full of literary elements including an epic quest for the three main characters, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter. Harry Potter’s overall quest throughout the books is to track down the evil wizard, Voldemort. He must also learn about why he is so famous. His best friend, Ron Weasley, is poor boy with 7 siblings. Ron’s quest is to become more brave and be the leader. Hermione Granger, Harry’s other best friends, her quest is all about knowledge and to do what’s right.

Anyone who has worked with children will agree that they are very impressionable. Even young adults are influenced by the media, literature, peers, money, and paradigms which is why parents and guardians would also agree that any impressionable source their children come in contact with should include desirable, good-natured content, such as life lessons and morals. In the past two decades, Harry Potter, a famous work of J.K. Rowling, has become increasingly popular and well known, but sensations also come with reproaches from strong willed adults that claim simple fictional details are consuming and corrupting their children. Parents and guardians believe that Harry Potter should be banned from use in schools and libraries, but they don’t

In life, one grows and changes in time, their overall personality goes through a transformation. The characters of the Novels Lord of the Flies, Fifth Business, and the Deathly Hallows the characters go through transformations based on the decisions they make, the interactions they have with the other characters of the novel and, thinking of major events that have happened in their life. Overall, characters go through transformations based on their actions, relationships, and reflection.

Undoubtedly one of the most popular stories of the 21st century was Harry Potter, a series in which readers follow the life of a twelve year old boy who learns that he is magical. Throughout the novels aspects of magic are blended into the real world, portrayed by the setting Great Britain, which contains a large proportion of non-magical people, referred to as muggles. The way the author, J.K Rowling, set the book up and blended these two aspects, magic and realism, is analogous to the way John Irving wrote a Prayer for Owen Meany through the genre of magical realism. Furthermore, the use of this genre allowed for the development of John Irving’s main message. By setting the story in the realistic town of Gravesend, New Hampshire, and incorporating the exceptional religious character of Owen Meany, the author sets the scene to impart his thoughts upon readers. John Irving’s main message in a Prayer for Owen Meany is that not all people view the world using science and logical reason.

Who has never dreamed of witches, broomsticks and full moon light? I always wished, when I was younger, I could turn and do magic like a witch. I even bought little magic kits, but it was nothing like the magic I wanted to produce. In my teen years, a book called Harry Potter caught my attention. It took me to a world I thought could only belong in my head. J.K. Rowling brought words of description to my dreams and brought out the little witch and wizard in many children's lives. I have not been able to find a more descriptive, memorable, imaginative, and well-written books for both children and adults to read and enjoy.

The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling has created quite a stir among public schools and churches. Some parents and ministers are afraid these books are teaching wizardry, witchcraft, and evil to their children, while others think they are books of harmless fantasy. There are two sides to this controversy, but I believe that these are just a way for kids to make-believe and imagine.

J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, which have reached worldwide popularity have an effect on children has not been matched by any other book. The novels have encouraged children to read for entertainment instead of turning to television or video games. When a piece of literature inspires children as the Harry Potter novels do, limiting a child’s access to the novels seems ridiculous. Unfortunately, this is what is happening with Harry Potter. The books are challenged and banned in schools and libraries all over the world because parents contend that the content is unsuitable. The content, which revolves around a world full of wizardry and witchcraft, has some parents actively

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has become one of the most popular children’s series in the world over the past decade. Through these books children and young adults alike have delved into a fantastical world in which they explored the problems that their protagonist, Harry Potter, has faced. In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the sixth book of the Harry Potter series, Harry dealt with the challenge of proving to his peers and professors that Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape were no longer trustworthy. Even so, Harry failed to realize that the author of the notes in his Advanced Potion-Making book was corrupt. In this book, J.K. Rowling uses point of view, style, and irony to demonstrate the need for people to be more analytical

J.K. Rowling is a good writer because she uses good word choice. The first example on page 159 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, she says, “… He squeaked.” This shows us how someone says something rather than just saying said. The second example on page 188 it says, “… come with me an’ see the Great Hall, looks the treat.” This shows us how good the Great Hall, looks rather than just saying that it looks good. The third and final piece of evidence on page 280 says, “ At once, a needle-sharp pain seared across Harry’s scar…” This shows what it felt like instead of just saying that it hurt. In conclusion, I think J.K. Rowling is a great writer because of her good word choice.

The article ´´The Real Miracle of Charlotte´s Web´´ by Norton D. Kinghorn that appeared in the Children´s Literature Association Quarterly in 1986 profoundly analyzes the content and main characters of Charlotte´s Web. Kinghorn follows a critical analysis through questions like what is the story about and who is the book about to compare and contrast a variety of literature criticism. The critics portray different mindsets and insights creating an important analysis that Kinghorn puts together to review one piece of children´s literature worth of study.

Like most kids, I was dreaming of receiving an acceptance letter from Hogwarts to whisk me away from our dreary world while gradually swallow the fact of being a muggle. Over the course of its publication, Harry Potter series has gained enormous popularity among readers universally, not only with children but with adults counterparts as well. As a result of its phenomenal success and ubiquitous values in literature, numerous scholarly reviews and literary analysis have been conducted, most frequently on the themes of love, death, and religions. As Colin suggests in “The Literary Value of Harry Potter Books,” a closer insight of the book reviews the sophistication and mirrors the social issues much more than generally expected (Colin, 1-21).

Harry Potter is a name known all around the world thanks to the author, J. K. Rowling. This well-known series grew in popularity after each of the books were released. The series includes many themes such as friendship, power and freedom. It is the latter of which Hermione Ganger focuses on when she started S.P.E.W. According to Hermione, “… S-P-E-W. Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare." (Rowling 224). She started the organization at the beginning of her fourth year in response to what she saw as gross injustice in the treatment of house-elves at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. Having been deeply upset at the treatment and general prospects of house-elves, Hermione set up S.P.E.W. in order to gain an improvement of their rights. J.K. Rowling was influenced by the child labor laws and the animal right laws that were put into place around the time she wrote her fourth Harry Potter book.

In the past couple years, there has been a growing phenomenon in the world of children's literature, this phenomenon is Harry Potter. J.K. Rowlings series of novels about a young wizard and his years at "Hogwarts School of Wizarding and Witchcraft," has become one of the most successful children's book series of all time. Before reading any of the now four novels, one may find it hard to believe that a children's novel may be so entertaining. But once one starts reading any of the four books, it is plain to see why these books are so popular.
