Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone Analysis

My first claim, is that the most important event is when Harry was appointed as a wizard by a member of staff from Hogwarts. This was the start of the entire Harry Potter novels, because he would always return to his Witchcraft and Wizardry School every year. The texts states that Hagrid, the Keeper of the Keys, says “Harry - yer a wizard”. My reasoning for this piece of text is that, If Harry never met Hagrid then he would have never known he was destined to be a great wizard in the future.

Harry Potter at first didn’t know anyone and didn’t know anything about Hogwarts. His goal was to fit in. Throughout Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Harry seems to make new goals for himself. Then one of his quests/goals is to go and stop who he thought was Snape but it was actually Professor Quirrell and Voldemort. Harry Potter’s quest changed from fitting into saving Hogwarts from Voldemort, or as they say He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. In trying to fulfill his quest he met some friends and of course some

Harry Potter is a fascinating tale of sorcerers, wands, broomsticks, dragons, and magic. The story begins with a young boy named Harry Potter who lives at number four Privit Drive, Surray, England. His journey begins after the death of his parents at the hands of the evil Lord Voldemort. Harry learns of his past and his future as a wizard from Hagrid, the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He travels to Hogwarts where he learns spells and enchantments, makes new friends, finds enemies, and discovers fantastic secretes. J.K. Rowling weaves a web of impeccable storytelling with this critically acclaimed novel. In the tale of Harry Potter imagery, symbolism, and motif take central focus.

In this film, Harry Potter experiences the three stages of the rite of passage by Arnold Van Gennep. In the first stage, separation, the participant is identified to be symbolically departed from their old self, “the person is detached from the roles and obligations that have been associated with their lives up until that time” (Nye 2008, 146). This stage begins for Harry when Rubeus Hagrid arrives at Harry’s home and convinces Harry to attend the “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry”. Hagrid informs Harry about his family history, and gets Harry to comply when he says “Best be off”. After Harry realizes that he has the chance to get away from his abusive lifestyle, he leaves with Hagrid to attend Hogwarts. The second stage of Gennep’s theory is liminality. In this

He was not in Diagon Alley, but Knockturn Alley. He was in an old store, Draco Malfoy and his father came in to sell so stuff. Harry hid just in time, so Draco couldn’t see him. The Malfoys left, Harry got out of the store. The half giant, Hagrid, helped Harry find the Weasleys. They went to the bank, Gringotts, for money to buy their books. Next, they went to Flourish and Blotts, the bookstore, where Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous wizard, was signing books. They got their books and went back to the Burrow. A few days later, they all packed their stuff up and took the flying car to the station. Everyone was through, but Ron and Harry, they ran into it and hit hard, the barrier had closed, they waited for a few minutes and went to the car. Ron decided to fly the car to school. They were landing when they mashed into a tree. The tree started punching the car. The car fell, threw them out and drove off. Ron’s wand broke on the end.

Harry gets his school supplies from Diagon Alley, a wizarding shopping center, and meets one of his new professors, Professor Quirrell, there.

Soon after entering Hogwarts, Harry must face a road of trials which will eventually lead him to achieve his unlikely treasure. While roaming the halls after curfew, Harry receives detention in the forbidden forest, and comes face to face with the Dark Lord. Other obstacles come to place when Harry travels down the trap door into the chambers; such as devil’s snare, a human wizard’s chess game, and the room of keys (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone).
