Influences On The Movie 'Harry Potter'

The outside is made of white stone blocks. Inside the cathedral the masonry is filled with pieces of rough stone used in the walls to fill the cavities. The pillars, drums, and the alter wall are made out of brick. There are large paintings on the pillars stretching from the ground to the bottom of the domes.

Carry On is a fantasy novel written by Rainbow Rowell, one that mirrors the Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter was born into the Wizarding World, and prophesied to be the savior of the magical world. Harry attends Hogwarts, a boarding school for young witches and wizards, and over his six years there, works up the power to defeat Lord Voldemort. Simon Snow, on the other hand, was born a Normal. At age eleven, he was taken to Watford, the magical school in the World of Mages. He is thought to be the Chosen One, and is trained to use his magic to defeat the Humdrum. The two books are similar in more ways than one, but they also have their differences. Some common elements are character types, themes, and the Chosen One archetype.

The building is four stories high made of brick, tile, and concrete. The east façade also has Classical features such as a frieze, dentils, cornice, raking cornice, entablature and an architrave. The front of the façade was adorned with floral coffers, corbels, as well as post and lintels (Photo 2).

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

The building itself uses an abundance of straight lines that give it a very neat and sleek finish. It is perfectly symmetrical, having a broad staircase with granite steps going right down from the second level to the front of the building. Written on these stairs are the words Invent, Discover, and Remember. Right next to this staircase, placed on each side are some brilliant green plants which wrap around the entire building and make it look very appealing. The building has several tower like sections that have upward sloping roofs that give it a bit of a medieval castle look. Made mostly of red brick and a yellow looking stone, this also gives the building the look of a castle. It also has lots of windows that give a welcoming feeling. There are also six bright lights which hang down from the second and third levels which add to that welcoming

Many people believe that there is only one world that exist, but what they didn’t know is there is another world out there that seems to be out of the ordinary. A young boy named Harry Potter lives in a normal world and has no clue of what has yet to come for him. As his eleventh birthday strikes at midnight a man whose name is Hagrid, from the wizard world, reveals to Harry that he is not just human in the muggle world (a world where people were born without magic), but he is a wizard that is known as “The boy who lived” and it is time for him to start his training. As Harry Potter leaves the muggle world to attend to wizard school known as, Hogwarts, he experiences many strange adventures that may cause him to adjust because both worlds combined

The first cornerstone was laid in 1811. Seventeen feet below the ground was a bed of limestone. After they built the church, they ran into problems years later. There were seven tie rods installed to support the walls. The walls consist of a layer of brick, stone, and then another layer of brick. The style of architecture is of Sir Christopher Wren. The church is Gothic with height and it is simple. The contour of the church is of a quadrangle.

Ideally, the entire building would have been made of stone however due to its high cost, brick had to be used on the sides and back; plaster was applied over the brick in order to create this faux-stone finish.

In terms of the five elements of drama, the plot of the film follows a young protagonist, Harry Potter who, upon realizing he is a wizard, is thrust into the magical, mystical world of wizardry as he attends the school of magic, Hogwarts. He meets a few friends and enemies there and he learns more and more about his past and his destiny to fight evil. The characters are: the protagonist, Harry Potter; his friends, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Dumbledore, and Hagrid; and his enemies, Voldemort and Draco Malfoy. The setting of the movie is current and it takes place in Hogwarts, a school of wizards. (imdb.com). The theme of the movie is good verses evil and the mood is mystical and magical.

The buildings had barrel vaults columns and windows and doors with rounded arches. The buildings were solid and heavy with small windows which made the insides very dimly lit. This lack of light is apparent in the film as a way to describe the general mindset and lifestyle of monastic life in the Middle Ages. Romanesque architecture is known for its large internal spaces. Annaud uses these Middle Age details in his construction of the set. As Professor Russell describes in the Medieval Culture lecture the different rooms of the monastery contained the cloister which connected the dormitory, refectory, scriptorium, kitchen, cellar, and herbal garden. The small windows, arched doorways and the non-human void of expressivity capitals and sculptures were all true to the times. Annaud constructed this Romanesque church set built specifically to shoot majority of the film. The attention and detail that he put into making sure that the backdrop provided a true and accurate account for how religious architecture was in the Middle Ages furthered the success of the film.

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.

The significance of this specific building is apparent from the moment you enter its domain. The door, witch is not shaped like a door you will find in an average office building or home, is designed to be deliberately dark, narrow,

Colorful, pretty, and comfortable, the Tower of London during its time as a royal residence contained more than just stone buildings - it was a center of life. Bustling servants, tradesmen, and court attendants would hurry around the lively tower, going in and out of the huge kitchen,

The novel suggests that the building is far from civilised places, on page twenty-four, chapter two; “..On that bleak hill top the earth was hard with a black frost, and the air made shiver through every limb..” This says that Wuthering Heights is isolated on a bleak hill top, it is dull and miserable and the earth is “..Hard..” and contains “..Black frost..”. The use of “..Black frost..” is Gothic as it describes even the frost as evil. Normal frost is white but “..Black frost..” symbolizes evil. This is very Gothic. Emily Brontë uses a lot of imagery to create tension for the reader. For example on pages thirty-one and thirty-two, chapter three when Lockwood is shown to his chamber in Wuthering Heights by Zillah, Emily Brontë uses a lot of images to create the feeling that the room and the surrounding is coffin like. This makes the building, Wuthering Heights feel supernatural and very Gothic. The house itself is very Gothic, containing tall dark arches and gargoyle statues. There are lots of shadows. Emily Brontë chooses realistic descriptions of the building/house, Wuthering Heights; “..One or two heavy black ones (chairs) lurking in the shade..“. “..Black..” reoccurs frequently in the novel as it suggests evil. The word “..Lurking..” is interesting because it suggests that something does not belong in a place , it is mysterious, as in his case the chairs have no place in Wuthering Heights. Almost as is the chairs are alive and they have thoughts and

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
