Harry Potter is a fascinating tale of sorcerers, wands, broomsticks, dragons, and magic. The story begins with a young boy named Harry Potter who lives at number four Privit Drive, Surray, England. His journey begins after the death of his parents at the hands of the evil Lord Voldemort. Harry learns of his past and his future as a wizard from Hagrid, the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He travels to Hogwarts where he learns spells and enchantments, makes new friends, finds enemies, and discovers fantastic secretes. J.K. Rowling weaves a web of impeccable storytelling with this critically acclaimed novel. In the tale of Harry Potter imagery, symbolism, and motif take central focus.

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

Imagine discovering that you’re not an ordinary person, but a wizard with magnificent, magical powers. Imagine attending a school where you’ll study transfiguration and charms instead of trigonometry and chem. Imagine the thrill of flying across the sky on a broomstick. These adventures and many others are waiting to be experienced in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by novelist J. K. Rowling. This fanciful and entertaining tale has taken the youth of the nation by storm, and its sales have only been surpassed by the book’s sequels, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

The Harry Potter novels have action,drama,suspense,and a good story line.The readers feel fond of Harry when he was a little kid and when he’s an adult.The action is intense because when Harry and Voldemort battle

Steven was a drummer but wanted to be a singer so when they all met in Boston before he would join the band he said I would have to be lead singer. So Joe and Tom agreed and they started the band. Joey gave up college to go with them (Schlesinger, 2008). The five were good friends and worked

There are so many characters and different parts of the park that are based on fun characters that no other theme park has. Harry Potter fans will absolutely love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This fantasy land takes the famous Harry Potter books and brings everything to life. There are multiple rides that are in Wizarding World of Harry Potter that make you feel like you are in the movie. Universal does an amazing job with the scenery and keeping the magic of Harry Potter alive.

"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing." (Severus Snape, Book five.) The book series entitled 'Harry Potter' has Biblical themes hidden beneath all of the spells, charms, and enchantments. Harry Potter, in my own opinion, is very Christ like and I feel like the book series could be looked at like a modernized version of the bible. He resembles Jesus Christ in multiple ways. J.K Rowling has subtly featured religious symbolism in her books such as, Harry dying for the wizarding world much like Jesus died willingly for our sins. After they died, they were both resurrected. Fawkes, the

The members of the band came from different paths, but eventually formed one group. Some examples are, Richard savage and Peter Willis knew each other from school and started up a band called Atomic Mass. Another example is that Rick Allan dropped out of school to be in the band Def Leppard (Jeffery, 2011). Once they started the band, Joe Elliott contributed to the naming of the band “Def Leppard”.

Harry Potter has been a best selling book series around the world. Due to its content about magic there have been some Christian groups who have been trying to ban the books. The groups have been banning the books based on the reasoning of it containing magic, possession, and blood sacrifices. The argument, like any other, has two sides, one being people who have actually read the books and know what it is about and its meaning, and the other being people who believe that the books promote witchcraft. (Although yes they do contain witchcraft they do not ever promote it)

The Beatles of the 1960s included four musicians that lived in the United Kingdom. Each member of the band were so different that they were able to create a unique twist on pop music, all while being a rock band. They took a lot of time to really make every track on their albums great. Through their music, they became more popular, becoming the most successful band in the history of music with having sold over one billion records to this day. The Beatles had a big influence on rock music and they were the most successful act in the 20th century.

J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, which have reached worldwide popularity have an effect on children has not been matched by any other book. The novels have encouraged children to read for entertainment instead of turning to television or video games. When a piece of literature inspires children as the Harry Potter novels do, limiting a child’s access to the novels seems ridiculous. Unfortunately, this is what is happening with Harry Potter. The books are challenged and banned in schools and libraries all over the world because parents contend that the content is unsuitable. The content, which revolves around a world full of wizardry and witchcraft, has some parents actively

I didn’t grow up reading Harry Potter. I was already in college when the first book came out. I think there are several reasons why Harry Potter has had such a large impact on readers. One aspect of Harry Potter made a huge impact on readers are the deep friendships made during the book. Harry, Ron, and Hermione became the best of friends. They went through good times and bad times, but they remained friends. There are other characters who are accessory characters, who are also friends. The books showed readers how to make friends and to keep friends. I love the fact that the friends did not abandon each other in the bad times and that the friendship only grew stronger with time.

Since the beginning of the series, Harry Potter’s life has been influenced by the choices of Albus Dumbledore. Everything that has happened to Harry has occurred because of Dumbledore, but does that make him purely Dumbledore’s boy or is he his own person with agency to do as he wants?

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
