Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone By J. K. Rowling

I have never been as comfortable with people made of flesh and bone than I have been with those made of words. Whatever information I lose in the contours of the human face, I have no trouble locating in the unchanging, permanent text of a book. There is something about literature that felt safe to me; the worlds created within far more welcoming to little girls with problems fitting in than the one outside the pages. For this reason, fiction, from Harry Potter to The Book Thief, has remained my greatest passion ever since I learned to read.

Many people believe that there is only one world that exist, but what they didn’t know is there is another world out there that seems to be out of the ordinary. A young boy named Harry Potter lives in a normal world and has no clue of what has yet to come for him. As his eleventh birthday strikes at midnight a man whose name is Hagrid, from the wizard world, reveals to Harry that he is not just human in the muggle world (a world where people were born without magic), but he is a wizard that is known as “The boy who lived” and it is time for him to start his training. As Harry Potter leaves the muggle world to attend to wizard school known as, Hogwarts, he experiences many strange adventures that may cause him to adjust because both worlds combined

Half-Blood Prince is easily one of the better books in the Harry Potter series, though each is a masterpiece. But the 6th installment of a 7-part series is bound to be full of great moments in the story. There remains a great deal unanswered in this book, however, and the 7th will surely need to be no smaller than an average encyclopedia. Somehow as I was reading this book, I felt that I was learning more and at a quicker rate than in Order of the Phoenix, but so many of Harry's problems and questions took so long to reach any sort of answer or resolution that I still ended up not knowing many of the secrets I expected to be revealed in this book. It must be that Rowling, in her grand scheme, is saving much for the last book. One thing seems

Do you like intense fighting, along with romance, as well as hand to hand combat? If so the Hunger Games is a great book for you. It tells an amazing story of a teenage girl, in the future, going through an intense competition known as the Hunger Games. This story is performed in what they think is the near future of the U.S, where there is a live broadcast which is filming people drafted to districts to fight to the death kind of like a fighting arena but the rules were a little different, the so called game makers would control things that may distract the tributes, one in particular was the fire wall and it had a massive effect on them. This goes through a first person mode story in which we go through a young teenage girl named Katniss Everdeen as she goes through the Hunger Games using many combat and survival skills.

Once published, the book gained immense popularity and won many awards. Her publishers wanted her to write more which led to her creating the entire Harry Potter series. Her books were extremely popular then and now. The Harry Potter series is often thought to be one of the best book series to be written. Not only was the story told through writing, it was also made into multiple movies. Rand mentions how even though they were not liked, they still came out on top. J.K. Rowling’s books were not liked at first, but eventually they became one of the best selling book series and she came out on top.

In this case, the relevant parties are Bilbo Baggins acting as plaintiff, and Orc Industries Corporation acting as defendant. This case originates from the dismissal of Baggins as an employee of Orc Industries in May 2007 under the grounds of dishonesty and for coming to work under the influence of alcohol. Orc Industries hired Baggins in December 2006 to assist in the construction of a foundry. After organizing agreements with unions and contractors, Baggins was accused by Orc Industries for arriving at work drunk, citing an empty whiskey bottle found in his desk as evidence. The main issue in this case is Orc Industries terminated Baggin’s employment without just cause. It is stated in the law that, “If an employer alleges they had cause for the dismissal, the burden is on them to prove that there was just cause” (Ministry of Labour). The definition of just cause is described as “the conduct that amounts to a fundamental breach of the employment contract”, which in this case there was a lack of sufficient evidence to support that any breach of the contract had occurred (Canada Legal). Orc Industries claims that the empty bottle of whiskey is sufficient proof, although this is not conclusive evidence that Baggins was ever drunk at work and thus is not sufficient grounds for terminating his employment (DuPlessis et al, 2013). Since Orc Industries did not fulfill their burden of proof for just cause to dismiss Baggins, Baggins can successfully sue Orc Industries for wrongful

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.

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

The book I read is called “The Hunger Games”. This book is about 24 people killing one another, and the main character is Katniss Everdeen. The setting is at Panem in North America. The question I chose is about what the book makes me feel, and what does it remind me about it.

The way we speak affects many aspects of our life. When it comes to being polite most people struggle thinking about the right use of words and when is the correct moment to be courteous. Managing polite speech is a basic need because it affect our interpersonal, laboral,and financial life.

The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven high fantasy novels by C.S. Lewis and illustrated by Pauline Baynes, and originally published in London between 1950 and 1956. First we have The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1950), Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951), The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952), The Silver Chair (1953), The Horse and His Boy (1954) The Magician’s Nephew (1955), and lastly The Last Battle (1956). The Chronicles of Narnia are the most popular works of writer C.S. Lewis. They are recognized as the children’s fantasy novels, they are really popular with students and even adults. In The Chronicles of Narnia, Lewis focuses on the Biblical Character of Jesus Christ as the character of Aslan the lion. It retells certain some events in Jesus life to children’s in this new context that makes it easier for them to understand. The Chronicles of Narnia were first written by C.S. Lewis with children in mind. The easy dialogue and a sense of reality in the fantasy setting allows all ages to enjoy and fall in love with these books. The reader becomes one with the pages, not wanting to put the book down for fear of the wonderful land of Narnia escaping their minds.

Harry Potter is the title character in J.K. Rowling's popular series of novels for young adults. In the first book of the series, called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Potter is a ten year old orphan who lives with his mean Muggle uncle and aunt, and their bully son Dudley. Muggles are non-magical people: people who are not born with the natural talents of witchcraft and wizardry as Harry is. Harry's biological parents were famous wizards, who were killed by the evil Voldemort. Voldemort wanted to kill Harry Potter because it was predicted that Potter would destroy him. However, Harry Potter escaped from Voldmort with only a scar in the shape of a lightening bolt on his forehead. His parents died trying to protect Harry, who now has to live with the pressure of finding Voldemort and getting revenge for the death of his parents. Harry is not a vengeful character, though. Harry Potter is a character who represents good, in the battle of good versus evil.

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.

From the publication of its first novel and its rise to popularity, the widely famous and popular Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling has always caused conversation. This is because the series of seven novels addresses a variety of social issues. One of these social issues is the idea of the “Other.” The concept of the “Other” appears in the Harry Potter universe in several ways, but this essay will focus on the connection between the “Other” and muggle-borns and their supporters. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, muggle-born witches and wizards and their supporters are “Othered.”

The consequences of a choice are never truly revealed until the ramifications of that choice are disclosed. In the novel Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets written, by J.K. Rowling, and the film directed by Chris Columbus, Ginny Weasley is presented with a diary that contains the memory of Tom Riddle, who is formally known as the dark lord Voldemort, and her decision to interact with him affects the people around her dramatically. Ginny’s use of the diary is reflected upon a desire for a friend to discuss her life and the secretive crush she has on Harry Potter. Due to her decision to communicate with the diary, it effects herself as she is manipulated without knowing and jeopardizes her life. Her decision
