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.

Interviewer: Greetings Harry Potter. I am an interviewer for ‘The Daily Prophet’ and I am intending to make this interview, the biggest news in the wizarding world! During this session, l would like to ask you questions about your adventure to defeat Voldemort.

A hero can be defined as someone who places themself at great risk, while performing acts of courage. This definition can be related in the epic poem, Beowulf, and the novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone. In each story, both leading characters are born destined to defeat the most evil creature in their world. Beowulf is the oldest surviving epic poem in the world. “Beowulf” was written in 1000 AD, in Old English form. In this poem the main character, Beowulf, challenges an evil monster, Grendel and a dragon, to a battle to save Denmark. 1,300 years later, in 1997, the novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone was published. Written by JK Rowling, Harry Potter became an instant success and was read by millions of people all over the world. In this novel, the main character, Harry Potter, is sent to Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts, Harry realizes that it is his destiny to kill Lord Voldemort, the most evil creature in the wizard world. Even through culture change, Harry Potter and Beowulf can be compared. They can be compared because both heroes are destined to fight evil, lead a group of people, and save the innocent lives of others.

With four amusement parks and a net worth of over twenty-five billion dollars, J.K Rowling's Harry Potter has entertained audience for over 20 years. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in the series and is about Harry Potter's first year of Hogwarts. It talks about how he adjusts and learns about the wizarding world, and figures out the mysteries behind the Sorcerer's Stone. Hermione Granger is first year student in the first book of Harry Potter, she quickly becomes friends with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley over the course of the book as they are all placed in the Gryffindor. But it is evident in first book that Hermione should have been sorted in Ravenclaw instead.

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.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a house elf named dobby shows up in Harry`s bedroom. He tells him that he can’t go back to Hogwarts because, bad things are going to happen! Harry and Ron go to Diagon Alley to get books and Harry ends up getting a picture with the famous “Gilderoy Lockhart”. Then Harry and Ron go to get on the train but they can`t so they take Mr. Weasley`s flying car and get to Hogwarts.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is one of my all-time-favorite movies. I have watched it many time but only three marked me: when I was eleven-years old watching it with my forty-nine classmate, when I was eighteen-years old that just move here in the US, and when I was twenty-three-years old preparing myself to watch the last movie in the Harry Potter series. At eleven, I was jealous of Harry. At eighteen, Harry mocked me. At twenty-three, I pity myself. Everytime I watch it, it exposed my insecurities. Uninteresting scene, even though trivial, made them more apparent, more visible. This movie is the antithesis of my reality. It is a magical world that a “just Harry” could be someone special (Columbus). It is “a realm where

Have you ever read the Harry Potter series? I bade you to read the Harry Potter series. I have three reasons why you should read the novel, and they are: if you like magic, if you like wizards and witches, if you like suspense, then read the Harry Potter series. However, if you haven’t read the series, here is a brief description of the first book of the novel: “The Fantasy Novel, ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’, By J.K. Rowling is about a boy named Harry Potter who was a one year old that was left on the doorstep of his mother’s sister’s house, (Petunia Dursley). His Aunt and her husband, Vernon Dursley, accepted Harry. Eleven years later Harry Potter receives a letter from one of the best schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry named Hogwarts, a school for magic people. When Harry finds out he is a wizard, he sets off for Hogwarts, where he finds that he is very famous because of his lightning shaped scar and his great Quidditch skills. He also meets many kind people and his very first best friends, named Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry, Ron, and Hermione survive all the way to the end of the novel, where they discover that the Sorcerer’s Stone is about to be stolen, so Harry Ron, and Hermione try to save the stone. Finally Harry Potter alone reaches the stone where he meets the thief of the stone, the Dark Lord. There he most importantly finds a path he must take later in the series to overtake the Dark Lord, if he could survive his destiny.” After reading

Another factor which I believe has led to the novels success is that while reading, the reader wishes that they could live in this fantasy world created by Rowling where life is anything but ordinary. The novels make the reader somewhat desire a life like the one led by the characters of the novels, like going to a school to learn wizarding, always having extraordinary things happen and just being at Hogwarts seems like an unequaled joy for some. These novels have the ability to reignite the long lost imaginations of adults, and keep the imaginations of children strong.
