Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the book written by JK Rowling is a darn amazing book, full of more twist and turns and secrets than a whole school year. Since I know that you’ve only seen the movies, but I have to say the books are way better, especially the book I said in the first sentence of this paragraph. So many secrets are revealed and the atmosphere is darker than your room at night. The book leaves you wanting more, and you wanting to know how the terrible atrocities can be solved (in which they are if you keep going onto the final book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). But this book sticks out so much to me and will always have a place in my bookshelf because of the creativity unmatched by any other books and the terrible …show more content…
Chapter 26 of Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince leaves such a striking impression on the reader, and as the reader learns about Harry and Dumbledore’s journey to discover the Horcrux they are left with more than they thought they’d receive. This chapter shows Lord Voldemort’s power and ignorance when concocting his protection which would in return, lead to his downfall. When they first enter the cave and Dumbledore makes payment he says that “‘...is that your enemy must weaken him- or herself to enter. Once again, Lord Voldemort fails to grasp that there are things more terrible than physical injury’” (Rowling.559). They would then be able to proceed into the cave, find the Horcrux, and then eventually kill the Dark Lord who sought immortality. The flaws of Voldemort revealed in this book and his failure to grasp human nature, for this is what specifically led to his downfall (this was very poorly done in the movies and this is why I think you should read the books). Underestimating that the intruders would not be afraid of cutting themselves, and knowing that the intruder can face death by entering the cave would not be afraid of making a simple payment. If Lord Voldemort would’ve looked outside of the “whatever I think or believe is right bubble”, than the Dark Lord would most likely have survived longer or even the events of the book might not have occurred. He makes his own enemies by failing to grasp simple concepts, and breaks the pillar in which he thought would save him from a mortal

I included Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because it's my favorite out of the entire series, both book and movie. Harry Potter was such a huge part of my life while I was growing up. It was this universal cultural phenomenon that I was so excited to be part of. I grew up reading the series and being so excited every time the next movie or the next book came out and I sorely regret not attending a Harry Potter premiere when I had the chance.
Harry Potter has been known to capture the hearts of both the young and old. My favorite books out of this series has to be the very last two. It is the most exciting time in the boy wizards life as he tries to defeat the evil Lord Voldermort. For those of us that haven't jumped on the Harry Potter wagon yet it is not too late! J.K. Rowling writes in a way that moves you along in the story and makes you want to read more.

Harry potter is a book about a boy who lived through a terrible killing genocide by a feared wizard named Voldemort or Tom Riddle. Flowers for algernon, Or FFA is a book about a guy with a mind disablity, his IQ was very low for a grown man.

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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was my favorite of the series. Picking a favorite is very hard for me because I have a special love for every single book. Looking at the series as a whole I have many reasons why it's definitely my favorite. When I was 9 years old my dad bought me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Right away I was in love with this book.
I chose the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling because I’d been wanting to read the Harry Potter series for a while and finally got around to it this year. It was that and that two of my close friends are huge fans of it and had been nagging since forever to read the books.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is an excellent movie that is well crafted. The concert I attended at the Hollywood Bowl was dedicated to this movie and they did a magnificent job of replacing any music in the movie with a live orchestra! The Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra performed at this concert and the conductor was Gustavo Dudamel. This concert was performed by having the movie played on a jumbo screen with the musical recording removed. While the movie was being played the orchestra would perform at the correct time. Their perfect timing impressed me the most because the margin for error was so small in terms of each instrument playing at the correct time. The environment was perfect because it was outdoors and the sound was
Harry Potter is in his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After a long boring summer he cannot wait to get back to school but a house elf named Dobby warns him not to go back because then danger will occur. Harry ignores this and goes back. Draco Malfoy is still tormenting Harry but Lockhart the new defense against the dark arts teacher and Moaning Myrtle, a ghost who haunts the girls bathroom have also joined in. These are all minor problems compared to the person who is petrifying students. Half the school is suspecting it is Harry! Can Harry find out who is turning students into stone before it is to late and someone dies? I chose to analyze the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because it is one of my favorite movies of all time. I figured that since I know the book and film forwards and backwards I would be able to focus on the assignment better instead of trying to learn the plot. I could focus on how the children and adults interact more then who is who. In this paper I will be analyzing how children develop throughout the film. I will be focusing on how they interact with adults, what adults think they are incapable/capable of doing and how the children control their emotions.
