One of the most famous pairs around the world are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. They’re well known because of their fantastic magic. Harry Potter was born on July 31, 1980. Ron Weasley was born on March 1, 1980. According to Rowling “The Potter family is a very old one, but it was never until the birth of Harry James Potter at the very forefront of wizarding history, contenting itself with a solid and comfortable existence in the backwaters” (Rowling). “The Weasley family is considered one of the prominent wizarding families, although their lack of money and their sympathy for non-pure-blood wizards and even Muggles makes people like the Malfoys look down on them” Ron describing his family (Bunker). Although Harry Potter story and his magic doesn’t fit the real world, the story influences a lot of publics throughout the values that Harry and Ron spread. Both Harry Potter and Ron Weasley went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry together to become wizards. “Happiness can be found even at the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light”- Albus Dumbledore (Tirthani). In addition, Harry wanted to know more about his dad because he wasn’t clear if his dad was alive or not. Ron wanted to help out his best friend.

The Harry Potter book series has sold over 450 million copies and is currently translated into almost every language on the face of the earth (“Harry Potter”). Millions have faithfully followed the story about this magical world and have fallen in love with the many enchanting characters. What most readers do not recognize is the prominence that classical Greek/Roman mythological allusions play in the beloved roles in Harry Potter through their names and personality attributes. The importance of names is extremely significant to a person’s identity, especially in literature where words are meant to bring stories to life. Rowling continues this concept through her characters by linking her characters names to classical folklore charismas that share similar personas. Rowling does a fantastic job with cleverly connecting her characters to classical Greek/Roman mythological figures through the etymology of their names and similar personality traits to their wizard counterparts, such as Professor McGonagall and Filch.

What do you think is the most recognized name in the world? Perhaps, it is Beyonce; or maybe Donald Trump. However, when this question is asked specifically looking for a literary character’s name, we are still left with a myriad of choices. Huckleberry Finn, Sherlock Holmes, Matilda, and Harry Potter are just a few of the thousands of popular characters in literature. Many are so popular that a film is created from their novels. One of the most recognized novel collections that have been made into a movie franchise is the Harry Potter collection. This is a multi-billion dollar franchise that has captured the world for decades. It is based on a young boy named Harry Potter, who faces many struggles throughout his magical journey at

“Come on, Harry, you can’t be late for your first day of Sophomore year,” Sirius Black spoke to his godson. “well, you can, but as your legal guardian I say you can’t,” he added as an afterthought. Harry, however, wasn’t truly listening. He hadn’t gone to bed early the night before, his sleeping schedule still out of whack from summer vacation, and now he was insanely tired. He wanted to do nothing more but go straight back to sleep and possibly sleep for twenty years.
Harry Potter is a black haired and green eyed. He lives with his Aunt Petunia Dursley (his mother's sister), his Uncle Vernon Dursley, and his cousin Dudley Dursley. His parents were killed by Lord Voldemort, the most evil wizard of his time. Nobody has ever survived the killing curse except for Harry. All Harry has to show this is a lightning bolt shaped scar. He is famous for the downfall of Lord Voldemort because of this. Harry is called "The Boy Who Lived" because he survived the killing curse. He has a problem for getting into trouble and seeing things others cannot (like the Golden Snitch, in Quidditch.) Harry can speak Parseltongue, the language of snakes. His mother was born into a muggle family, and his father was a pureblood, making
Harry Potter is an amazing book and movie series that has many great examples of literary archetypes.

There is a small underground inlet, its entrance hidden by hanging ivy, that leads to a stony beach below the castle at the base of the cliff. From there, a path leads up to the front door of the castle. A road runs around the lake to the
In today’s world identification is key. Whether it be politically, nationally, economically, or even sexually, identity is a key element of our everyday lives. However, many people identify themselves through the things that they love whether that be a TV show, a movie, or a book. There are several subsections of nerdom that many do not know a lot about. For me, that subsection is Harry Potter. While I am quite friendly with many people who are well versed in the fiction and mythology of the book series, I myself have never gone deep into this world of fans. Yet, there is a major group of my fellow students who identify as “Potterheads.” Not knowing a great deal about this community and their ways of interacting with one another, I decided to go to a meeting of Chapman University’s Harry Potter club, the Chapman Marauders to answer a simple question: how can the Harry Potter novels connect students from various backgrounds to one another on Chapman’s campus?
