Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft & Wizardry

The child may have escaped that night with only a scratch on his forehead, a scar that was not only a reminder of a horrific event, but also a connection between an innocent child and the evil lord Voldemort by transforming Harry into a Horcrux’s and making him the chosen one to defeat him when the time came. Harry Potter’s early years seemed normal, living with extended relatives who did not view him as their own and who seemed cruel to him at times. Missing his parents and always feeling like an outsider Harry finally reaches the age of 11, and finds out that it was time to go to “Hogwarts” the school for wizards. A place where the once lonely and neglected kid encountered true friends, some may say the best two friends anybody could ever ask for, Ron and Hermione and let’s not forget Neville Longbottom who will be a very

The thesis of this essay is: “Although the world of Harry Potter is engrossing and inventive, the educational system at Hogwarts is filled with disturbing elements: Hogwarts promotes memorization and punishes experimentation, creativity, and critical thinking skills, creating alumni who are truly unprepared to handle calamities.” This thesis statement is claiming that Hogwarts is the type of school that does not encourage thinking outside of the box but instead supports memorizing only the current known magic to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Students are taught, beginning at age 11, to not experiment with magic, and this limits them from trying to create their own skills in order to help them be able to protect themselves in the future. The author uses the following

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.

Imagine discovering that you’re not an ordinary person, but a wizard with magnificent, magical powers.

These adventures and many others are waiting to be experienced in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by novelist J. K. Rowling. This fanciful and entertaining tale has taken the youth of the nation by storm, and its sales have only been surpassed by the book’s sequels, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Students often leave high school with the mentality that they must enter a college. However, in the book, Is College Worth It?, by William J. Bennett and David Wilezol debates the positive and negative aspects of attending college. It is not known which was the first university to appear in the United States, but the most notorious college to be established in the 1600s was Harvard University. Since the 1600s, colleges have only been increasing in an abundant of states in the United States. Unfortunately, Bennett and Wilezol, first two chapters introduce the negative aspects of college; and, chapters three and four are universal arguments that go against each other. The final chapter reveals the author's opinion on colleges.

Once entering Hogwarts, the student will be sorted in one of the four houses called as follow: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. To decide what house the student belongs to, the professor uses the sorting hat to determine what house they belong to. The sorting hat is what the muggles don’t have and stated by the website Pottermore, “It literally contains the intelligence of the four founders, can speak (through a rip near its brim) and is skilled at Legimency, which enables it to look into the wearer’s head and divine his or her capabilities or mood.” (J.K. Rowling) what it means is the hat uses its power to uncover the person’s thoughts and see his/her talents and that is how Harry Potter got sorted into Gryffindor. In Hogwarts, the sport that is well known and is a wizard favorite is called “Quidditch” and it is played in the muggle world as well, but in the wizard world it is played with broomsticks. This sport is played rough since there are no rules in the wizard world and both teams want to win points for their houses. The game can be called automatically over if the seeker catches the golden snitch (a golden ball with wings) and it will be worth one hundred fifty points for their house which is important to them and as the school

A hero can be defined as someone who places themself at great risk, while performing acts of courage. This definition can be related in the epic poem, Beowulf, and the novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone. In each story, both leading characters are born destined to defeat the most evil creature in their world. Beowulf is the oldest surviving epic poem in the world. “Beowulf” was written in 1000 AD, in Old English form. In this poem the main character, Beowulf, challenges an evil monster, Grendel and a dragon, to a battle to save Denmark. 1,300 years later, in 1997, the novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone was published. Written by JK Rowling, Harry Potter became an instant success and was read by millions of people all over the world. In this novel, the main character, Harry Potter, is sent to Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts, Harry realizes that it is his destiny to kill Lord Voldemort, the most evil creature in the wizard world. Even through culture change, Harry Potter and Beowulf can be compared. They can be compared because both heroes are destined to fight evil, lead a group of people, and save the innocent lives of others.

Education can have many lasting effects to a person in a positive or negative manner. Institutions that focus on education are subjects to the societal norms and cultural bias. In the story, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by J.K. Rowling, a school called Hogwarts shows signs of being culturally pressured to teach forms of racism and superiority to others. Hogwarts methods of teaching have lead to students displaying acts of racism with approval, performing class division starting from early on, and showing favoritism or publicly humiliating students based on bloodline or ability to produce. These actions throughout the story demonstrate that Hogwarts educational methods are institutionally racist and elitist.

In her novels Rowling always makes us sympathize with Harry. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry is the youngest contestant in the tournament. As opposed to the others he has little knowledge on how to perform most spells and relies solely on skill. His fear is therefore grounded. The movie does nothing but strengthen this idea. In the movie we actually get to see Harry’s expressions, for example, when his name is thrown out of the Goblet. Likewise, Dumbledore’s rage and shock as well as the students surprise and anger make us understand how dangerous the tournament is. Professor McGonagall’s genuine concern for Harry solidifies this fear. It is also very obvious in the movie that Harry is maturing. Not only does he look taller and bigger than in the previous movies; his actions are a lot wiser too. His modesty with
