In the series, Harry is the good guy. He’s the one that saves thousands of wizards and millions of muggles. He’s the brave teenager who dared stand up to the Dark Lord, the Chosen One.

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.

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.

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

The irony of some Christian groups' outrage over the supposed witchcraft element of Harry Potter is that Harry is a fairly unambiguous Christ figure. While Harry's role as the "chosen" one in the battle against evil might be enough to satisfactorily prove this claim, the conclusion of book 7 makes the comparison straightforward. Harry, in order to save the rest of the world from the damnation of Voldemort's rule, not only dies, but actually then rises from the dead. A wizard depicted so clearly as Christ should not upset Christians either, though. Remember, first and foremost, that Harry is not at all that talented of a wizard. Beyond his signature "expelliarmus," Harry has really only shown mastery of one other spell: expecto patronum. It's
