“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”. This quote was in the second Harry Potter movie spoken by Dumbledore, its not only an inspirational quote but its also my first example on the differences between the movies and the books. Although this quote was in the movie it was not in the book. Even though the movies and the books were about the same thing they are both quite different. The movies leave out a lot of the parts that the books have. Most of which are the parts when harry spends his time at home. Book/Movie 1: The Sorcerer's Stone In book 1 it starts off by describing a family by the name of the Dursley's and their daily routine. It explains how they are a very normal family …show more content…
No one threw him a party or even wished him a happy birthday. Movie 2 begins in the evening when friends of Mr. and Mrs. Dursley come to visit and harry is told to stay in his room and not to make a peep but to act like he doesn't exist.

When they see their past selves Hermione throws a rock at them and starts talking about how bad her hair looked back then. This scene doesn't happen in the book. Later on in the movie when harry has a quidditch match to do so, Draco and his friend show up making ghost noises and throw their hood over their heads trying to torment harry. In the book Draco and his friends all dress up like a dementor (a demonic type ghost). All sitting on each others shoulders to make a big dementor trying to scare Harry off his broom. Books/Movie 4: The Goblet of Fire couch Sr. found the dark mark and blames his house elf Winky. So he fires winky. But Hermoine goes to couch and tells him she saw a man in the wood conjure the dark mark. In the movie he blames Harry, Ron, and Hermione for it and gets very angry at them. And harry was the one to tell couch about the man in the woods. Also they never showed or mentioned winky in the movie. When Harry finds out about the goblet of fire he wants to put his name in but Dumbledore tells him no. Later when they draw from the goblet of fire Harry's name is drawn. in the book Dumbledore's reaction is described as calm. But in the movie he is yelling and running across the room “ HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!”. Harry tells him no and he knows he isn't lying because he put a shield around the goblet so no one under the age of 17 can put
Experimenting in this movie occurs when Harry asks Sally to dinner when they run into one
A movie that came out in 2002 was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This movie was based off the best-selling novel, which was written in 1997 by J.K. Rowling, called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. If you were to read this book and watch the movie you would find many differences, but the main difference between the two is that the book gives more information to the reader than the movie gives to the viewer. If someone was to watch the movie instead of reading the book, that person would not be able to have an accurate perception of the book because so many things in the book are changed in the movie or parts are left out of the movie completely. This is mainly because the book has more characters and chapters, which are
Harry’s departure from his old life is evident once he steps on to Platform Nine and Three Quarters to board the Hogwarts Express (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). Leaving his previously known home is not difficult because of the ten years of neglect that occurred in the Dursley household. Harry has only been in two magical places and he already feels more comfortable than ever. Now that he has crossed over to the hidden world of magic, he is ready to embark on his adventure.
The importance of the symbolism of Harry’s scar is what keeps Harry from being possessed by Voldemort. The reason Harry has his scar is because his mother sacrificed herself so Harry could live. The scar on Harry’s forehead represents love. Love is something Voldemort cannot have or tolerate. Voldemort has no love and cannot bear to be in the presence of love. This is why Voldemort couldn’t kill Harry. So, when Voldemort possesses Harry at the end of the book, in hopes that Dumbledore will kill Harry and him, Voldemort can only stay inside Harry for so long until he finally gives up. It pains Voldemort possess someone with so much love. So, in a way, when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, he was planning his own downfall. Dumbledore thinks carefully
Both of these texts use narration to enable readers to see how each protagonist grows and matures over the course of the text. Rowling uses the technique of third person narration to show that in the beginning Harry is scared and insecure and has frequent feelings of loneliness and has a very low sense of self-worth. This is due to his upbringing and the neglectful actions of his guardians the Dursley’s. “Harry was used to spiders, because the cupboard under the stairs was full of them, and that was where he slept.” His sudden fame as a wizard at Hogwarts comes not just as a total contrast to his earlier forgotten misery, but as a fate that we feel is very much deserved after his youthful suffering. By the end of novel he is more confident in himself, his future and his abilities, he gains a significant amount of self-confidence as shown through his future interactions with his peers and in particular the Dursley’s.“...It was addressed to you by
Evil. I thought a unique scene was when Harry and Miss Cooper were singing and he’s outside and she is upstairs sitting on the rocking chair holding a shotgun. I thought that it was a sign of respect that a game of cat and mouse is about to begin.
Next, throughout the middle portion of the book, Harry becomes more and more doubtful of himself because many people get attacked. Mr. Filch says “My cat! My cat! What’s happened to Mrs. Norris? You! He screeched. You! You’ve murdered my cat! You’ve killed here! I’ll kill you!” (Rowling 140). Immediately after Mrs. Norris is attacked, Harry is suspected of being the killer. This continues during the book. On page 196 Harry is talking to Hermione and Ron after he spoke Parseltongue, snake language, to Justin, another boy at school, when Ron says, “And now the whole school's going to think you’re his great-great-great-great-great grandson or something” (Rowling 196). Then Hermione's says, “He lived about a thousand years ago; for all we know, you could be” (Rowling 196). Harry’s friends even start to consider the fact that Harry may be responsible for so many people being petrified. The text states, “Harry lay awake for hours that night… Could he be a descendant of Salazar Slytherin? He didn’t know anything about his father’s family after all” (198). Even Harry started to doubt himself even though he knows he hasn’t done anything to anyone. All in all, during the middle of the book everyone suspects Harry of petrifying everyone and eventually Harry himself starts to ponder the question.
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
When having a dinner party, Dobby shows up and tells Harry not to return to Hogwarts due to danger, when Harry tells him that he will be going, Dobby makes a clatter of the kitchen. The clatter and mess of the kitchen causes the Dursleys to get very angry and decide to keep Harry in the closet under the stairs for the rest of the summer. Later, at night Ron drives right up to Harry’s window- in a flying car and takes Harry away from the toxic household so he can stay with him and his family.
Tyler Jones ½ 11/30/17 Return address Tyler Jones 2502 70th Ave SE Washington, 98040 Dear, J.K. Rowling LAL Writing After Reading your book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone I began to realize all the strange things that happen in life, such as a roof creaking when no one is nearby it, but you can still hear it creaking and it's weird. I am similar to harry in the sense that I can be very quiet if I want to and harry is most of the time. Harry relates to me because weird things happen to him, some weird things also happen to me such as, if I think long enough I can see a brief picture of a future and sometimes that future actually comes true and its weird and I’m like whoa! That actually happened? And when Harry was at the zoo, he removed

When is progress defined as good or bad? The process of Industrialization, a “period of social and economic change that transforms a human group from an agrarian society into an industrial one”, is brilliantly portrayed in the 1988 experimental film Powaqqatsi, by Godfrey Reggio (Wikipedia). Reggio’s plotless film focuses on the conflict of tradition, specifically in Third World Countries, with new ways of life introduced with Industrialization. Likewise, J.K. Rowling’s bestseller Harry potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, also explores changes throughout time, specifically in the life of a young boy named “Harry Potter”. Despite their differences, both artworks portray progress, as a controversial subject which holds beneficial and negative consequences.
Convinced that he can fix what he blames his father for. Getting mad at his father for all the people who had died for his father not realizing what can happen messing with time and how he should not blame Harry for what happened. He takes his best friend with him and ends up messing up big time. Even though it seemed that saving one person wouldn’t change the future that much it does have an effect and when they go back to fix the problem it results in an even worse situation.
This is the first book where Harry is really shown as being a mature teenage boy. In the earlier books, Harry is still shown as an immature boy who has a hard time facing all the problems in his life. Since Harry is finally shown as being more mature, he is finally able to show in other things then just Voldemort. Harry finally admits his feelings for Ginny Weasley, and the two start dating. He is also finally able to stand up to Professor Snape, instead of submitting to him. ("HPL: Harry Potter and they Half-Blood Prince chapter by chapter.")
The book states that there were that Each major faculty member – Professors Sprout, Flitwick, McGonagall, Quirrell, and Snape – has offered a protection to the Philosopher's Stone in regard to their subject. Sprout's challenge is Devil's Snare. Flitwick enlarged hundreds of keys and charmed them so that they would fly around the room; only one fit the door to the next room and to capture it one would have to fly on a broom. McGonagall made a life-size Wizard's Chess game. Quirrell offers a troll to guard the next room. Snape made a logic riddle that incorporates seven potions, three of which are poison, two of which are nettle wine, one of which returns the drinker to the previous room, and the last of which advances the drinker to the next and final room. However, the movie, for length reasons, does not include Quirrell’s troll and Snape’s poison. Both the novel and film bring Harry to the climax where Professor Quirrell is found looking into the Mirror of Erised craving the sorcerer’s stone. Quirrell then forces Potter to give the stone to the professor. However, Harry was quick to realize that if he touched the combined Professor Quirrell and Voldemort, his body would turn to ash. While attempting to choke Harry, Harry uses his ability and gets free. In the long run, the climax of both the novel and movie are similar but there are some contrasts that are minor to the
