Harry Potter: The Book and The Movie Essay

When comparing the book Twilight, written by Stephanie Meyers, with the movie Twilight, screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg and produced by Catherine Hardwicke, there are multiple visual differences between the two. Some important scenes were changed or even omitted from the original text, leaving noticeable gaps in the movie’s plot. There are big and important differences, which are obvious, while there are also less important differences between them such as names and small missing details. The most important differences between the book and movie were when Bella tells Edward she knows he is a Vampire and when Edward saves Bella from Tyler’s van in the beginning. In reading the book before seeing the movie

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.

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter encounters many new people and obstacles that help Harry development as a character. With these obstacles J.K Rowling provides our readers with imagery that engages our senses. Through the use of imagery Rowling plants symbols throughout the narrative that are crucial to the creation of the fantasy. The obstacles that Rowling uses to provide imagery are the Sorting Hat, the introduction of new characters, the Mirror of Erised, the trials needed to reach the Sorcerer’s Stone, and, finally, The Sorcerer’s Stone.

It is clear that the Harry Potter series has taken a journey on the Hogwarts Express to the road of international success. The “Harry Potter” series is the story of the eponymous boy, orphaned at birth and left in the care of the aunt and uncle along with the ill mannered son who make up the Dursley family who are known as “Muggles” (non-magical people). On Harry's eleventh birthday, Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts, a school that grooms young wizards and witches, and promptly enters a world of wonder and mystery. At Hogwarts, he meets his two closest friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger who begin there adventure together through love, friendship and learning about magic. Harry learns very soon that the death of his parents was no

Flying is his natural talent, and symbolic of his first triumph. The first time Harry takes flight is to defend a fellow student being bullied by Harry's enemy, Draco Malfoy. Malfoy steals a treasured possession from Harry's fellow student, and threatens to throw it on the roof of the castle where it would more than likely be lost forever. Harry intercepts the treasured possession midair after a fifty foot dive. A teacher sees this event occur, and recommends that Harry should join the school's Quidditch team, a team that plays games involving broomsticks, quaffles, and bludgers. It is symbolic that Harry's aid of a fellow student in distress secures him a position on the sporting team. “Broomsticks are cool, I mean who wouldn't want to fly.” (Howe “Sorcerer's Stone”). Flying is an act many of us have dreamed of. It seems only fitting that Harry should be compensated with the wonderful experience of flight after suffering such a depressing childhood.

     The title of my book is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is written by J.K. Rowling. I really liked this book. This book is a fiction book. That of course means it’s not true.

The Hunger Games, the introductory novel in a trilogy book series written by author Suzanne Collins in 2008, is a young adult novel that surrounds a teenage girl named Katniss Everdeen in a futuristic tale of a teenager who defies all odds when they are stacked against her. She is shaken to the core with sacrifice, adversity and danger when she finds herself forced to compete in a televised series of games where there is only one survivor. Not only does she want to live, but she has an incredible sense of responsibility to her family that she’s left behind. The film based off of the best selling novel, also entitled, “The Hunger Games,” premiered in March 2012. Director Gary Ross does a great job of incorporating the plot, setting and

This shows that Harry was so determined he had to make sure someone else could carry on his task if he died. Harry’s determination of defeating Voldemort by finishing off all the Horcruxes was so strong that he did not even care about his own life anymore. It is almost as if Harry wants Voldemort killed so badly that he would even risk his own life.

The book is able to have a very profound way of keeping the reader entertained by having many exciting chapters like when Harry Potter battled Professor Quirrell, and the movie tries to keep the story exciting by deleting some chapters that the producer considered “not so important” to the storyline. On the other hand, the movie is shortened in a way of learning all the basics of the story and in an exciting visual way. The fact is that all of the chapters and all of the parts of the chapters were important to the storyline because without that extra information the reader is left without a feeling of complete knowledge of the plot. An example of a chapter being completely left out is the chapter called “The Midnight Duel” which has

The feather gracefully floated in the air, carefully controlled by Hermione Granger's wand. The other kids' feathers stayed put on their desks while they furiously shouted "Wingardium Leviosa" at it over and over again. She looks around at the other kids, wondering why they can't get their feather to float up. Hermione looks to her left, where a boy with bright red hair and freckles sits. Ron Weasley rolls his eyes and sighs at her, thinking about how much of a know-it-all that strange girl was. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling, and throughout the entire series, a typical day for Hermione consists of being smarter than everyone else without trying to be snotty. The series is about Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione

In the Muggle world, Harry was treated as less than dirt- in the magic world, he suddenly finds himself towards the top of the chain. Hermione underscores this point when she discovers that he is Harry Potter and says, “I know all about you, of course— I got a few extra books for background reading, and you’re in Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century” and Harry’s only response is a dazed “Am I?” (106). To put it succinctly, Harry went from being a nobody to being a household name in an extremely short period of time- an experience that would be disorientating to an adult, let alone a child. Moreover, Harry is unaware of the deep history that he is linked to. Many of the names that Ron, as a pureblood, at least vaguely knows, Harry has no clue about. For instance, Harry buys candy on the train and learns about the Hogwarts

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.

Magic, wands, and wizards are those important elements to creating fiction novels and stories. Have you ever wondered what it would happen if magic exists in human lives? As J. K. Rowling has published a series book from 1997 to 2005, which it becomes one of the best selling fiction books in history called Harry Potter. When the book came out for the first time, its story had increased an attractive in reading among people, especially the young adults. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a first story in a series of the seven books to display about a strong friendship between Harry and several characters happening at Hogwarts because this aspect allows him to ultimately face his battle against the Dark Lord,

The book, "Being There," is about a man named Chance, who is forced to move out of the house he lived in his whole life and his experience in the outside world. Based on the success of the book, the movie, "Being There," was made. The author of the book, Jerzy Kosinski, also wrote the screenplay for the movie. I think the major difference between the book and the movie is that in the book, we get to read what Chance is feeling and thinking, but in the movie, we only get to see his actions.

“A giant of a man was standing in the doorway. His face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild tangled beard, but you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under all the hair” (pg 46). The previous passage is a wonderful and tasteful description of the first introduction of Hagrid from J. K. Rowling’s novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This book gives intimate detail and overwhelming amounts of vivid description into the characters, settings and conflicts that arise in the book. If there is are aspects to really note about Harry Potter it is the wonderful and imaginative language and the parallels of similarity between situations Harry is
