The narrative structure of a story is extremely important because it is the reason the reader feels attracted or not towards the story. J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, narrated her story in a way that makes it easy to comprehend and maintains the reader attracted to it. Rowling included several types of events throughout the novel that makes the reader follow the story without getting lost in the middle of the story. The author introduces characters without getting the reader lost, makes the reader dislike certain characters due to their characteristics, and presents conflicts between good and evil.

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

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 Harry Potter series followed the life of a young wizard who faced several hardships throughout the duration of his life. His parents were murdered by one of the most feared wizards of all time, his guardians

Set in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the protagonist, Harry Potter, learns that

After witnessing the murder of his classmate and the rebirth of Voldermort, Harry is sent back to live with the Dursleys at the end of the school year. When we see Harry for the first time in Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix he is once again alone, in the bushes outside(Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix pg 3). Harry has been receiving very little information from his friends about the events in the wizarding world as a result of Voldermort's return and it is not until Harry is forced to use magic to combat Dementors, the guards of the wizarding prison, that Harry goes back to the wizarding world. Harry is brought to the headquaters of the Order of the Pheonix, the group formed to fight Voldermort, while he waits for his hearing to explain why he used magic outside of school, and Harry begins his emotional isolation. He arrives at headquarters to find out that his friends have already been there for a while and have not disclosed that to him or much of any information over the summer (Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix pg 72).

The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling has created quite a stir among public schools and churches. Some parents and ministers are afraid these books are teaching wizardry, witchcraft, and evil to their children, while others think they are books of harmless fantasy. There are two sides to this controversy, but I believe that these are just a way for kids to make-believe and imagine.

Harry is given a gift of a new broomstick during The Prisoner of Azkaban, and has no idea who it is from. At the end of the book, it is revealed that Sirius Black had gifted it to him. This shows the true spirit of devotion. It may be a minor part of the book but it helped Harry do a lot of things, like win his quidditch matches. At this time also, Sirius invites Harry to live with him since he is now a free man. Harry is excited to live with his godfather. There was no way HArry could go back to the Dursley’s household. Sirius could help Harry learn more magic and truly become a father figure for

In 1997, a new children’s author, J.K. Rowling, released a book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and took the world and the wizarding world by storm. The Harry Potter franchise, which later went on to include seven books and eight movie adaptations, tells the story of a young wizard, named Harry Potter, and his rag-tag group of friends as they battle Lord Voldemort and his loyal followers of Death Eaters. The books follow Harry, who at first did not know he was a wizard and had to adapt to his new world, and his friends as they struggle to find a balance between school, relationships, and fighting for their lives against He Who Must Not Be Named, a phrase used to describe Voldemort because of how evil of a wizard he is. The book covers a long list of tropes such as good versus evil, the struggle for power, and the most obvious and important the hero’s journey. Although the series is marketed as a book for children and young adults, hidden beneath the mystical and fantastical story of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling uses the series to tackle deeper and more meaningful topics such as racism, ethnic cleansing, and classism.

Using imagination and creativity, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has defined literature as transformative. In this seven-book series J.K Rowling imagined and creatively pieced together a fantasy world of muggles, wizards, tyrants, and heroes to symbolically share with readers problems plaguing modern society. Similar to Shelley’s work of the past, never before have readers in the modern era seen teenage and adult mania surrounding an 11-year-old wizard. Some will argue that J.K. Rowling’s young-adult series lacks depth or wants to twist young minds by using magic and evil, but through close examination it is evident that

In the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling Harry starts of in the unfamiliar wizarding world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After lord Voldemort killed Harry’s parents he is sent of to his aunt and uncle's house as a baby. Harry does not like living with them but eventually at age 12 he gets a letter to attend hogwarts which he will soon find out that he is a wizard. After being sorted into one of the four houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, ravenclaw and slytherin)he gets sorted into gryffindor and finds friends in his house(Ron and Hermione). They have to stick together and work together to defeat him. This leads to one of the themes for this book series being that “You are much stronger when with friends”.

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
