My book report is on the book 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone' by J.K.

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. Basically they suck the life out of you slowly until you go mad and lose sanity). Harry runs away on the same night and crosses the man without realizing it. Since Sirius is an ananamugus he is able to turn into a giant black

The three books by J.K. Rowling, which are at the top of the New York Times best-seller list, chart the course of 11-year-old Harry, who learns of his famous wizard-family past and is invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

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

Soon after entering Hogwarts, Harry must face a road of trials which will eventually lead him to achieve his unlikely treasure. While roaming the halls after curfew, Harry receives detention in the forbidden forest, and comes face to face with the Dark Lord. Other obstacles come to place when Harry travels down the trap door into the chambers; such as devil’s snare, a human wizard’s chess game, and the room of keys (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). The series of tests make Harry’s mission difficult; however, the knowledge he gains from the unsuccessful trials bring him closer to his main goal. These minor bumps in Harry’s journey strengthen him emotionally and physically, readying him to defeat the traitor at the end of his succession of tests. Unexpectedly, the betrayal comes from the quivering Professor Quirrell who voluntarily gives up his body to the Dark Lord. Harry sees himself in the mirror and realizes he is magically in possession of the Sorcerer’s Stone. Shortly

In Harry Potter, Harry’s scar represents the four elements of life: rain, earth, fire, and water. All of those four elements symbolize that scar, but what is symbolism? Symbolism is a literary term that uses symbols to represent ideas or qualities about something. Symbolism is not only used in Harry Potter, but in both “The Gift of the Magi”, written by O. Henry and “The Scarlet Ibis”, written by James Hurst. Both authors used symbolism, just in two different ways. O. Henry used Della’s hair and Jim’s watch to symbolize their love for each other, whereas James Hurst used the Scarlet Ibis to symbolize Doodle. For example, in the quote about the bird traveling so many miles and then it dies under the tree, is not only foreshadowing, but symbolizing Doodle because Doodle has come so far by learning how to walk and run, but died in the end under that same tree.

Harry Potter is an amazing book and movie series that has many great examples of literary archetypes. At the end of the series, Harry finally defeats Voldemort, ending his terror on the magical world. Nineteen years after the battle that ended it all, Harry now works in the Ministry for Magic along with his best friends, Ron and Hermione (who is now the Minister for Magic, or Prime Minister in our world). They all have children who now attend Hogwarts, starting their own journey. Who knows where their journey will take

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
