Harry Potter And The Triwizard Tournament: An Analysis

Without looking up from her oh-so-interesting read, the curly-haired girl slid the requested item across the table. Connie gave her friend a look which Marlene did not pay enough attention to receive.

The book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has many themes. However I feel the most significant theme is the no matter what situation you're in, you should always work hard to achieve your goal. What I mean by this is that Harry Potter wanted to be part of the tri-wizard tournament but knew he couldn’t. Because of this, when his name flew out at the last moment he was very surprised. Despite this, he knew once you were in the tri-wizard tournament you must compete, so he did what he must to pass all the challenges. The first quote supporting that he work tirelessly to succeed in the tournament is “ The heavy book soared out of Hermione’s hand, flew across the room, and Harry caught it” (Rowling 347). This quote is from the first challenge

1a. Harry Potter and the Soccer’s Stone. In the movie the external conflict was between Harry Potter, Professor Quinn, and Voldemort. Professor Quinn is looking for the stone when Voldemort tells him Harry knows where it is. Then Professor Quinn ask Harry where the stone is and Harry looks into the magical mirror is sees that he has the stone in his pocket but tells Professor Quinn nothing. Then Quinn comes at Harry to attacked him but Harry puts his hands up and touches Quinn and he burns. Harry realized that his hands for some reason can burn and dissolve Quinn he does this again but to his face out of fear of what Voldemort might make Quinn do.

Folktales originate from every culture on Earth, and the values derived from them influence society many years after their inception. Usually told to individuals in their childhoods, these simple stories tend to revolve around certain narrative forms, one of which is the quest. A quest has received the definition of an act or instance of searching, and describes the actions of a character within such a story (Merriam-Webster). Such tales have impacted many areas of life, not excluding the wizarding world of Harry Potter. The Triwizard Tournament as presented in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire embodies the classic folklore quest narrative in several ways. For the sake of brevity, only the final tournament that took place in 1994 prior

History, although mostly recorded through words, draws from a foundation of visuals like pictures and photographs. That is, up until recently, civilizations did not write down every single event that occurred so future generations would know the civilization’s history- instead, they generally either passed it down verbally or put it into art. Indeed, some of the earliest languages were illustration-based rather than actual words. Therefore, it makes sense that photographs and portraits play such a large role in present day society, as well as the Muggle worlds and magic worlds that J.K. Rowling depicts in the Harry Potter septology. Particularly, in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the photos and portraits are significant in that they

In the Triwizard tournament showed us Harry's virtue of courage. Harry was ambitious to succeed in the tournament. Harry was very ambitious to get in the Gryffindor house. Harry knew he would do great things if he got into the Gryffindor house.

The author who created the breathtaking pieces of Harry Potter has a talent of utilizing her writing as an allegory to attract consideration regarding main problems. Previously, with Harry Potter, she has commentedon dogmatism, bigotry and utilized the yearning for 'immaculate wizard blood' as a moral story for racial prevalence. With Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them, the writer takes her initially wound at screenwriting and raising the stakes. She attracts consideration regarding human numbness and the refusal to recognize creature protection in addition to other things, where an absence of data frequently means fear and miserable expulsion of equivalent rights.

The wildly popular Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling has been the center of religious controversy since its publication in 1997. Scholar Laura Feldt explains: “The Harry Potter novels have also met strong religious reactions including extreme acts of rejection by church leaders and parents in conservative Christian communities in the USA” (101). While there are religions that completely reject the series, the Catholic Church has a more divided stance on the Potter books and films. The Church has praised the films for their portrayal of good and evil, but warn against the lure of magic into occultism. However, as firm as the stance on Harry Potter and magic in the Catholic Church seems to be, as the books and movies were released a split occurred amongst members. Some supported idea that Christian themes like love, sacrifice, and good versus evil were in the text and therefore the books should be accepted. However, the argument against Harry Potter, like popular priest scholar Fr. Costigan’s assessment – which is the area I focus on – who claims Harry encourages children to break rules and promotes that the ends justify the means, still exists making Harry immoral (Costigan).

Pi is an incredible individual. He went on an inconceivable journey that changed him mentally. There was no way he would come back the as the same person. After going through a shipwreck, he refuses to believe that he might really be stranded. When he acknowledges that he really is lost, Pi kills for the first time for the sake of survival. His physical and religious limits are tested immensely and it transforms him forever.

The story events take place England, in Hogwarts school and The Department Of Ministry. King’s Cross Station is where most events took place before school. The Author J.K. Rowling conceived of the idea of this setting in 1990 while sitting on a delayed train from Manchester to London, King’s Cross. King’s Cross is mentioned in the book and the book/movie series, and is referred to as King’s Cross Station where the main characters go to board the train. The students would run through a mystical wall with their parents to the magic side to board the train on Platform 9 ¾ with their trolleys . On the platform in the station the children would say good bye to their parents and board the train to Hogwarts which was one of the settings in the

“This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the Lord came to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does? Declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.” (Jeremiah 18:1-10). This served as a parable to warn the people of Israel what their fate would look like if they continued in their old ways.

They couldn’t possibly find out what is going on. They would at no time believe me if I told them Quirrell wasn't the stuttering idiot he shows to be. The Great Hall was noisy and these thoughts filled my head as I sat stiffly. Soon after, Quirrell came bursting in, his voice shrieking. He looked petrified but I knew it was an act. He squealed about a giant monster was in the dungeon. Quirrell’s face turned into a bloodless hue and blacked out in front of Dumbledore’s chair. Dumbledore scrambled to rise and demanded the first years to follow the prefects.
