Harry Potter Hero

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). The series of tests make Harry’s mission difficult; however, the knowledge he gains from the unsuccessful trials bring him closer to his main goal. These minor bumps in Harry’s journey strengthen him emotionally and physically, readying him to defeat the traitor at the end of his succession of tests. Unexpectedly, the betrayal comes from the quivering Professor Quirrell who voluntarily gives up his body to the Dark Lord. Harry sees himself in the mirror and realizes he is magically in possession of the Sorcerer’s Stone. Shortly

We have all had someone whom we have considered our hero. We call them our hero because they have exhibited certain characteristics that make us feel safe or protected in harmful situations. A few books demonstrate heroic characteristics masterfully through their characters. Beowulf portrays a strong, self-sacrificing hero. Canterbury Tales shows us a wise and caring hero. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight displays a flawed, loyal hero. These three men give us some of the attributes it takes to be considered a hero. These books tell us that to be a hero, you have to sacrifice, have wisdom, and loyalty.

A modern character that I consider to be a hero and show bravery is Harry Potter. He shows bravery in order to face all the obstacles and trials that come his way. If heroes weren’t brave and courageous think of how different our world would be. Would you be where you are today?

The main character, Harry Potter, goes through three important stages of the cycle, the departure, initiation, and the return stage. Theses stages have subdivisions which not only contributes to the growth of the hero, but also lays out what a hero goes through in order to achieve his/her quest.

The Harry Potter book series has sold over 450 million copies and is currently translated into almost every language on the face of the earth (“Harry Potter”). Millions have faithfully followed the story about this magical world and have fallen in love with the many enchanting characters. What most readers do not recognize is the prominence that classical Greek/Roman mythological allusions play in the beloved roles in Harry Potter through their names and personality attributes. The importance of names is extremely significant to a person’s identity, especially in literature where words are meant to bring stories to life. Rowling continues this concept through her characters by linking her characters names to classical folklore charismas that share similar personas. Rowling does a fantastic job with cleverly connecting her characters to classical Greek/Roman mythological figures through the etymology of their names and similar personality traits to their wizard counterparts, such as Professor McGonagall and Filch.

Can you imagine sacrificing your life to protect someone you hate? What about destroying your own life, so much so that you become hated and misjudged just so you can defeat someone. Someone who has killed the girl who you loved all this time, but she never loved you back. This character who I am describing is such an underrated hero. Who is this? Severus Snape, from the Harry Potter series. Snape is by far, the best YA hero. He is loyal to others, selfless, and his failures only make him stronger.

Harry Potter commits and act of heroism in order to establish or maintain a name for one's self. This is shown in the story of Esfandyar. Esfandyar had been known to the people of Persia as a great fighter and one who has never lost a battle (i.e. pre-established fame). There is a difference between Esfandyar and Harry. Esfandyar was not out to prove his fame, he was merely trying to obey the orders of his father, the king of Persia. While Harry on the other hand preformed these heroic acts to show his valor and to show his classmates that he was as good as the legends say.
