Running Head: Concepts of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone
Within the story of Harry Potter there are many concepts to be noted. This book is interesting and very different from any other book. These many concepts will tell you about some of these strange things that goes on.
Shortly after Harry was born a villain called Voldermont killed his parents. Somehow Harry did not die from Voldermont, but not only did he live, he almost killed this great dart magician. As the only survivor, a giant called Hagrid took him to his Aunt and Uncle Dursleys house and left them on the doorstep with a note. Ever since that day, he has been living in a blended family. That is a family

By definition Harry had an ascribed status in his life. Ever since he was a little boy and lived through one of the best dark magicians’ magic, he was known as the boy who lived. Everyone knew who he was. When he went to dragon alley with Hagrid, at school, everybody whispered about him as he passed in the hallways.
As soon as Harry passed through that gate of nine and three-quarters he entered a kind of total institution. A place where he was cut off from the society that he knows and would then be controlled by the officials, or a principal and teachers. This happens because he can’t really go back home with out regretting it and when he gets there like always the principal and teachers basically control you anyway.
The looking-glass self happens when our self develops by internalizing others reactions from what we say or others say. A good example of this is when everyone is on the train riding to Hogwarts. Harry was talking to one of his friends and was talking about Voldermont. Every time he said that name, his friend told him that he shouldn’t use that name and just say you know who. Harry learned this fast because every time he’d say it, his friend would either tell him or get a scared look on his face.
When Harry arrives he is a hero to almost everyone before he even knows who they are. Now he
His family would belittle him and treat him awful. As the movie went on Harry met a boy named Ron. Ron and his family took Harry under their wing emotionally and were involved with his social life and schooling. Harry had a huge mentor in his life who was named Hagrid, who had a good connection to Dumbledore, who happened to be the principal of Hogwarts. Throughout the movie he developed these interactions slowly and it helped him grow in his microsystem. Therefore, Harry was able to get out of a tough spot in his life and continue to grow as a person and live his life fully.
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 by J.K. Rowling is a magical story about a boy who set on a heroic journey to save his home. Along the way he shows great heroism, courage, and natural intelligence as he navigates his way through Hogwarts and it’s mystery’s. Harry Potter’s story left a mark in every audience member's heart and a permanent fondness for the magical story in their minds.
Harry Potter is a fictional character invented by J.K Rowling in the series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Wikipedia, 2015). Harry is the main character in this series whose parents died when he was young and he was brought up by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.5). Harry was neglected by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.27). Harry is presented a whole new reality when he goes to the zoo one day and his integration into the magical world changes him from the foundation. These changes within him will be analysed using the developmental psychology theories of Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson to explain how the environment aided or obstructed Harry’s development.
Born onto a mortal mother, son of the mighty God Zeus, Heracles developed super strength since birth and proved his demigod status. He spent the greater portion of his life trying to show himself worthy of the title of a God.) Harry feels apprehensive about this new life and the legend that he must now live up to. The entire wizarding community is "expecting great things" from Harry. Harry says to Hagrid, "Everyone thinks I'm special, ... but I don't know anything about magic at all. How can they expect great things of me?." (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Rowlings, Pg.86) Harry's thoughts and feelings are dominated by this ample need to prove himself worthy of his own name. His actions while at his new school, Hogworts, are directly related to the need for Harry to affirm his legacy. I see this as a shining example of ancient heroism.

Harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is an excellent book. Out of ten stars I would rate this one an eight because it was to short. Once you get into it and finish it. It seems so short, because it is so interesting. Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban starts out with a bang. In the beginning Sirius black a Man accused of thirteen murders in one night escapes from Azkaban.( A wizard prison guarded to the tee by dementors, deadly spirits that feast on anything happy. Basically they suck the life out of you slowly until you go mad and lose sanity). Harry runs away on the same night and crosses the man without realizing it.

Although I am a strong supporter of this book series, I do find one thing wrong with the books. All the novels have endings which are almost the same, Harry saves the day and Voldemort the major antagonist gets defeated in one way or another. Also only Harry and his friends seem to be the ones who go on adventures to defeat huge beasts or save family members from monsters known as dementors, this to me makes the novel slightly unappealing but still one of
