Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Reveiw

     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.

Knoxville, Tennessee is known for many things, especially known as a college town. Little did anyone know that on March 26, 1968 a superstar would be born, and the star would not be known for throwing, running, or catching footballs but singing (“Kenny Chesney.”)? The country genre did not know it for a while, but it had a person that was going to bring country music to new heights. With a mix of some traditional country music mix with some rock country and island country music it would make Kenny Chesney a very successful country artist.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling, there is a lot of evidence supporting the fact that Harry Potter often does things that are risky or could get him in trouble. However, they tend to work out for him in the end because he has help and resources.

From Julius Caesar’s twenty three stab wounds to Gatsby’s disloyal love, the importance of the cruel act of betrayal in literature has long been discussed. Perhaps less historically, betrayal has also appeared in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, as two terrible wars redefine values and loyalty within the wizarding community. However, betrayal also shows itself in acts of love and bravery in Rowling’s beloved series. In the Harry Potter books betrayals are used to reveal truths about characters, represent development, and uphold the belief held within all seven of the books: that we are defined by the choices that we make.

The novel depicts the alienation, the teasing and abuse he receives from the Dursley’s and from his muggle school in length but the film cuts it out and only represents Harry’s current life with his muggle family. Though film often acts like the viewer is watching an historical reenactment of a literary work, but Nel argues that “[t]he movie was not enough like the book and, at the same time, very much like the book” (172). True, the film does not explain the themes that were already discussed and introduces the film at the zoo but the film interestingly introduces the magic world to Harry [played by Daniel Radcliff] through the use of absurdities and fun. It presents the magic world in a more whimsical manner that modern ‘muggles’ would not realistically dream of. For instance, the scene of the owl infestation at the Dursley’s home when the Hogwarts letters were not being delivered is not mentioned in the novel and is an added creative twist to the film. It also presents one of Hogwarts symbols of the owl delivery system and at the same time, it may also foreshadow the animal companion to the hero. Though the novel presents this scene with whimsical descriptions, the film portrays magic in a manner that is absurd and entertaining to the audience and Harry as well.

Joanne suffered from clinical depression and contemplated about suicide. This was due to the abrupt change of her lifestyle and the associated demands for charity funding and other business prospects, after the success of “Harry Potter”. To surmount this mental illness, Joanne decided to take cognitive behavioural therapy sessions for nine months (she had previously taken these therapies when she was writing her first novel for the “Harry Potter” series). After taking cognitive behavioral therapies for nine months, Joanne successfully overcame her mental illnesses and the associated negative stigma without humiliation, as she said, “I have never been remotely ashamed of having been depressed. Never. What’s there to be ashamed of? I went through

Low key lighting and odd camera angles are used in this part of the film while Harry searches for the Sorcerer’s stone and battles Voldemort. There is a slight horror aspect to the following scenes as Harry deals with the antagonist of the film, Voldemort. Horror is a genre that aims to create a sense of fear, panic, and dread for the audience. These films are often unsettling and rely on scaring the audience through a portrayal of their worst fears and nightmares. As we grow to love Harry and realize his biggest fear is the man who killed his parents and also him, and then are forced to watch him return this brings horror into the mix as a sub-genre.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling, when Harry discovers a mysteriously and brilliantly annotated potions book, Hermione Granger, a quick-witted young witch, immediately goes searching for the self-described ‘Half-Blood Prince’. While Harry assumes that the author must be male, Hermione instantly corrects him and exclaims, “The truth is that you don’t think a girl would have been clever enough!” (Rowling 538). Hermione expresses her outrage at the assumption that a girl would be incapable of success in potions, another way of saying that science is not women’s work. Hermione is deemed the “cleverest witch of her age”, achieving the highest marks in virtually all disciplines including the wizarding equivalents of math

In the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter must use magic and his wand to defeat Voldemort. Harry spends time at Hogwarts learning magic and how to be a good wizard, while also facing various challenges, usually relating to Voldemort. Harry has to prove himself to many people, and does so multiple times by using his magic and saving peoples lives and keeping Voldemort from destroying everyone. This movie fits this archetype because Harry has to use his wand, which is his magical weapon, to combat the evil Voldemort, while figuring out his identity and who he is after living a rough childhood with family who treated him awfully. He also proves himself to many people, including various teachers, and even Dumbledore, who is in charge of Hogwarts

In “Runner’s Up: J.K. Rowling,” Nancy Gibbs discusses the effects that the Harry Potter books had on Rowling and why she was a Runner Up as Time’s Person of the Year in 2007. Now that Rowling’s finished with the series, she can finally disclose all of the secrets that she’s been holding back for so long. Much to fans’ dismay, she still won’t give out many interviews; although, Rowling does disclose some of her own secrets about her religion. She comes from an atheist family, but she converted to Christianity after studying further into religions. Rowling emphasizes that she does not hope to push Christianity onto her readers, but she does hope to inspire them to do good in the world. Even though all of the books in the Harry Potter series

In Harry Potter, Voldemort and his Death Eaters are often a parallel to Hitler and the S.S. Soldiers because of their similar dictatorship over those who were more inferior to them. Because of this, Voldemort ranks his Death Eaters in a hierachy to prove their significant role in his presence. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow’s, Voldemort is surrounded by his Death Eaters at a long table; his followers sit around by rank and how important they are to him. Hilter was often surrounded by his S.S. Soldiers, the formed a new aristocracy of sorts within the confines of German society and appealed to men who were nationalist in mindset, politically active and who wished to transform the world by forming something new and dynamic. The rise of power for both Hitler and Voldemort can be credited to their followers and their hungriness of power to rule.

Have you ever read the Harry Potter series? I bade you to read the Harry Potter series. I have three reasons why you should read the novel, and they are: if you like magic, if you like wizards and witches, if you like suspense, then read the Harry Potter series. However, if you haven’t read the series, here is a brief description of the first book of the novel: “The Fantasy Novel, ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’, By J.K. Rowling is about a boy named Harry Potter who was a one year old that was left on the doorstep of his mother’s sister’s house, (Petunia Dursley). His Aunt and her husband, Vernon Dursley, accepted Harry. Eleven years later Harry Potter receives a letter from one of the best schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry named Hogwarts, a school for magic people. When Harry finds out he is a wizard, he sets off for Hogwarts, where he finds that he is very famous because of his lightning shaped scar and his great Quidditch skills. He also meets many kind people and his very first best friends, named Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry, Ron, and Hermione survive all the way to the end of the novel, where they discover that the Sorcerer’s Stone is about to be stolen, so Harry Ron, and Hermione try to save the stone. Finally Harry Potter alone reaches the stone where he meets the thief of the stone, the Dark Lord. There he most importantly finds a path he must take later in the series to overtake the Dark Lord, if he could survive his destiny.” After reading

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is part of the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. This book is also the inspiration for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, a film directed by David Yates. Both the film and novel focus around a young wizard fighting against a darker force of evil, The Dark Lord, aka Lord Voldemort. The series is an adventure through Harry’s years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and how the threat of the Dark Lord hovers over the wizarding world. However, despite both the film and novel covering the same topic. The final film has many differences compared to the novel that have made themselves so obvious on the screen many have spoken of it, such as Harry’s and Voldemort’s final battle, Lord Voldemort’s death, and how the Elder wand was disposed of.

The movie adaptation of J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a very pivotal movie in the series. Like the book, this movie is crucial in setting up an understanding for the rest of the series. Therefore it is important that the movie complements the novel as much as possible. Using one of the most essential features of a movie; visual imagery, the movie adaptation of the fourth novel is a good accompaniment for the novel. The visual imagery in this movie emphasizes emotions and reactions that we cannot possibly obtain from the book. For example, the death of Cedric Diggory at the end of the movie strikes a powerful emotional response as a result of his father, Amos Diggory’s grief. Seeing him cry makes the audience more
