The Harry Potter Series And Its Impact On Society

His family would belittle him and treat him awful. As the movie went on Harry met a boy named Ron. Ron and his family took Harry under their wing emotionally and were involved with his social life and schooling. Harry had a huge mentor in his life who was named Hagrid, who had a good connection to Dumbledore, who happened to be the principal of Hogwarts. Throughout the movie he developed these interactions slowly and it helped him grow in his microsystem. Therefore, Harry was able to get out of a tough spot in his life and continue to grow as a person and live his life fully.

Harry Potter is a fictional character invented by J.K Rowling in the series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Wikipedia, 2015). Harry is the main character in this series whose parents died when he was young and he was brought up by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.5). Harry was neglected by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.27). Harry is presented a whole new reality when he goes to the zoo one day and his integration into the magical world changes him from the foundation. These changes within him will be analysed using the developmental psychology theories of Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson to explain how the environment aided or obstructed Harry’s development.

Born onto a mortal mother, son of the mighty God Zeus, Heracles developed super strength since birth and proved his demigod status. He spent the greater portion of his life trying to show himself worthy of the title of a God.) Harry feels apprehensive about this new life and the legend that he must now live up to. The entire wizarding community is "expecting great things" from Harry. Harry says to Hagrid, "Everyone thinks I'm special, ... but I don't know anything about magic at all. How can they expect great things of me?." (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Rowlings, Pg.86) Harry's thoughts and feelings are dominated by this ample need to prove himself worthy of his own name. His actions while at his new school, Hogworts, are directly related to the need for Harry to affirm his legacy. I see this as a shining example of ancient heroism.

Harry spends most of the book complaining about how he doesn’t want to be famous; yes, he’s had a hard life, but he should appreciate what he has-- it is much better compared to his life with the Dursleys! This isn’t the only way in which Harry seems selfish and juvenile; the times he got himself into trouble and lost points almost cost Gryffindor the house cup! When he gets into trouble, he doesn’t think about his fellow Gryffindors and how it would hurt them and their reputation. “Harry Potter, the famous Harry Potter… had lost them all those points, him and a couple of other stupid first years.” (Rowling pg.#195)

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
