I Do Not Own Harry Potter Essays

In the book Harry Potter and the philosopher’s stone, Lord Voldemort was presented as a bad guy whose name you are not allowed to say out loud. What if he was so-called “tragic hero”? To be convinced by my claim, the first thing a reader needs to know is that this is based on opinions and evidence such as Voldemort is not just a bad guy, he is a very clever figure and a huge part of the whole series, therefore, you can’t just call him a “bad villain”. I have read an extended essay made by Latoya C. In her essay, she proves us how we can perceive Lord Voldemort as a tragic hero rather than just a villain that he is usually portrayed for. I started reading the book: Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone “a month ago, at the start it wasn’t

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.

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.

As soon as I heard it, many emotions hit me. Fear and sadness were the biggest. I had a feeling that he had escaped, but now it was confirmed.

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’s final march to his death this can be seen as Harry reaching his inner journey; of himself coming to terms with his fear of death and of him overpowering both loss and grief. Harry faces Voldemort in order to stop the killing of all the innocent people and to allow himself to be free from the evil reign that had surrounded him from his birth. Harry struggles with doubts, fear and hesitation along his final journey but once he walks through the forbidden forest he gives himself to Voldemort with no resistance (Rowling 559). When Voldemort strikes Harry down with the killing curse it appears that all is lost. However, Harry wakes up in another place naked, clean, and renewed. He takes on a new set of clothes, and gains the final understanding that he needs to destroy evil. He sees Voldemort for what he truly is, no longer something to be feared but only pitied. Harry wakes up on the forest floor a new man with the scar he carries no longer painful nor a threat to him. He has conquered death and is renewed with life. He is, as Dumbledore said, the ‘master of death’ because he did not avoid death rather he took death straight on (Rowling 577). Voldemort represented the evil aspect of society and now that evil has been wiped away. Harry has now overcome any fears of death since he has died and has been resurrected so he no longer needs to fear death. Harry

Draco Malfoy hated Christmas. He hated it with a burning passion, and about this time every year, the fire was ignited again. It was December 1st. A wonderful day, had you asked any other Londoner, but to Draco Malfoy all of December was nothing more than a month of greediness and lies.

In the past couple years, there has been a growing phenomenon in the world of children's literature, this phenomenon is Harry Potter. J.K. Rowlings series of novels about a young wizard and his years at "Hogwarts School of Wizarding and Witchcraft," has become one of the most successful children's book series of all time. Before reading any of the now four novels, one may find it hard to believe that a children's novel may be so entertaining. But once one starts reading any of the four books, it is plain to see why these books are so popular.

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

Alistair gave a small grunt as it caught him in one of his wings, and he was never able to take off. "Do you really think I'm just going to let you go?" Adrian hissed, "While without a contract you are rogue!” "More battling, really?" Alistair sighed, stroking the wound on his wing, "You already have the soul, what more could you wish? I confess I was wanting our little spat to end here, but if you insist.” Fighting demons was something that Adrian had more than enough experience with, so the next few minutes played out very much like the rest of the battles he'd had with their kind. The moves, the evasions, the offensives, the defense; it was all the same moves in a different order. He was not even surprised when Alistair managed a swipe at his shoulder, and caught him, breaking the skin. "An eye for an eye." The demon had said, licking a drop of blood from his claws. Alright, Adrian had to admit that was not something that he had witnessed before. The taunting, however, was very much characteristic of a demon. "Such a pinned-up master of his emotions," Alistair cooed, dodging Adrian’s fist, "What anger really lies behind those glasses, hmm? It's so hard to tell.” Adrian had learned long ago not to answer back, and only kept fighting as best he could. After a while Adrian had the impression that on his own, this particular demon was not going down. He would need at least one more reaper to consider ever
