Harry Potter And The Sorcerer 's Stone

The narrative structure of a story is extremely important because it is the reason the reader feels attracted or not towards the story. J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, narrated her story in a way that makes it easy to comprehend and maintains the reader attracted to it. Rowling included several types of events throughout the novel that makes the reader follow the story without getting lost in the middle of the story. The author introduces characters without getting the reader lost, makes the reader dislike certain characters due to their characteristics, and presents conflicts between good and evil.

Snape quickly covers his leg when he sees Harry looking. Harry’s hero complex now begins to show as he becomes determined to find out what Snape is hiding. The Ordeal that Harry faces leaves him unable to think of anything but the mirror of Erised, which has captured his full attention. He stumbles upon the mirror as he hides from Snape and Filch, but sees his parent in the mirror and becomes so entranced he can’t think of anything else. Harry has to overcome a great ordeal of emotion turmoil in order to get his mind back on track, demonstrating great self-control. Harry’s journey descends into the abyss as he suffers a detention in the forbidden forest. He meets Voldemort but is saved by a Centaur, he finds that Voldemort wants the stone and feels like he must protect

that Greek gods exist, and have been closely observing western culture and ideas. The author draws parallels to Percy’s life, who is an American teenager, with that of Greek heroes. This parallel helps the readers to relate to the book, essentially engaging the young readers to learn about Greek mythology and the lessons of life that it teaches, in a not so bland way. The protagonist of the novel, Percy Jackson, is revealed to be special in some way. This section also develops other supporting characters, such as Chiron, Percy’s teacher, who also was mentor to Hercules and Grover, who is Percy’s sidekick, a multi-dimensional character with his own past, hopes and concerns. The association of Chiron and Percy foretells that Percy will carry on heroic deeds in future. Percy fights Minotaur, a monster that even Theseus fought and defeated. In the process of defeating Minotaur, Percy loses his mother, which he feels was his last hope to returning to his normal human life. By drawing parallels between Percy and various heroes of Greek Mythology, the author shows Percy in the light of a hero. A hero who is yet to prove his worth in the Camp Half-Blood. His encounter with Clarisse at a bathroom in camp, allows him to show his strength, which was very similar to that of his father Poseidon, but also instils in some ways fear amongst the camp

It was Dumbledore who knew who Voldemort really is-treacherous bigot who wanted all the riches in the world, and wanted to live forever. He learned about this side of Tom Marvolo Riddle(Voldemort) fifty years ago when Voldemort was still a child at Hogwarts. This is important because Dumbledore knew about Voldemort ahead of time so that he could try to change him.

Michael Vey might have sacrificed many things to protect the ones he loved, but Harry Potter did things in the name of protecting everyone. He undertook the mission of defeating the greatest dark lord of all time, He-must-not-be-named A.K.A Voldemort. He knew that he needed to destroy all of his horcruxes to beat voldemort. If he didn’t succeed than Voldemort would “punish every last man, woman and child,” (Rowling 660). He accepted death as an old friend, he knew he was “about to die,” (Rowling 698) and did nothing to change it in order to beat the dark lord, “He saw the mouth move and a flash of green light, and everything was gone,”(Rowling 704). He didn’t know what would happen, or even if there was

To help him through all of theses trials he had the help of Dumbledore, Hagrid, and Professor Mcgonagall (Harry Potter). Dumbledore gave him his invisible cloak, Professor Mcgonagall game him his Nimbus 2000, and Hagrid showed him where to go to get his wand (Harry Potter). It just so happened that that wand has a brother, the owner of the other brother also happens to be Voldemort (Harry Potter). One thing that I thought was going to make him turn back and stop looking for trouble was when he say “ you know who” drinking unicorns blood in front of him, and then would abandon his journey (Harry Potter). When Harry wakes up later in the hospital and Dumbledore walked in and tells him that ron and hermione are fine Harry is finally a true hero (Harry

In all three of the novels there are transformations based on actions. Although all actions have a different impact some action’s may only effect one person and other actions may change the entire world ultimately the impact is always different in each case. Overall, in these novels there are transformations based on actions even though the character may not be transformed as seen in Harry Potter. although the actions of Dodging the snowball, giving Ralph leadership and Harry going back led to major transformations individually, collectively and earthly.

Quirrell quite literally blows away in a stiff breeze and Harry, though knocked unconscious, gets to wake up in a much safer world.

Chapter 21- I am a huge Harry Potter fan and have always been intrigued by his scar. Whenever he was a little baby he was basically like a protégé almost and when Lord Voldemort found this out he wanted to kill him. However, when Harry’s parents gave up their lives to save him, he was left with only a scar of conformation. This sets Harry apart from the rest of the wizards.

Gilderoy Lockhart takes the role of Shapeshifter in this novel. Lockhart, an egotistical, world-renowned wizard, has just accepted the position at Hogwarts as the Dark Arts instructor. However, all is not meets the eye with Lockhart’s true self. Vogler illustrates that a Shapeshifter is “shifting and unstable” in nature (Vogler 59). While “its appearance and characteristics change as soon as you examine it closely,” the Shapeshift archetype often “assumes disguises and tells lies to confuse [the hero]” (Vogler 59-62). For example, on their first day of class, Lockhart brings a cage of pixies in. He then proceeds to let them lose and urges the students to “round them up” (Rowling 102). When the student’s attempts fail, Lockhart

He finally felt like he belonged. Harry still assumed a gut fear of Voldemort along with everyone else. One night Harry served detention in the Forbidden forest, while doing this Harry noticed a sharp pain in his forehead, Harry thought it meant danger’s near by. Harry said something in the woods, he followed the noise. When he arrived a dark hooded figure sucking the blood from a unicorn. The only people to suck blood from a unicorn need to build up strength. Harry got a very bad suspicion that Voldemort’s who feed from the unicorn to regain power.

His emotions can also be represented by the violent genocide he commits. In addition, Harry is in a similar situation to Odysseus’. When Harry catches up to Quirrell, who has Voldemort fused to the back of his head, he engages in a quarrel with them. Harry contends blindly, not knowing if the odds are on his side. Luckily, his mother had bestowed protective magic inside him before her demise, allowing Harry to triumph against the dark professor. Both characters are involved skirmishes and even face death against their enemies. Not only do Odysseus and Harry fight villains, but both are also fighting to protect something dear to them.

Shape shifters- Luke and Ares. At first, I thought that they were helping Percy but then suddenly they are also part of the problem that Percy had. They were like helping Percy and giving them advices but they were traitors.

Low key lighting and odd camera angles are used in this part of the film while Harry searches for the Sorcerer’s stone and battles Voldemort. There is a slight horror aspect to the following scenes as Harry deals with the antagonist of the film, Voldemort. Horror is a genre that aims to create a sense of fear, panic, and dread for the audience. These films are often unsettling and rely on scaring the audience through a portrayal of their worst fears and nightmares. As we grow to love Harry and realize his biggest fear is the man who killed his parents and also him, and then are forced to watch him return this brings horror into the mix as a sub-genre.

Harry Potter is living in the ordinary world with his Aunt, Uncle and Cousin who treat him with very little respect. He begins to receive mysterious letters which are addressed explicitly to him. His aunt and
