The Theme Of Friendship In Harry Potter And Goblet Of Fire

An epic fantasy and a gloomy ranch life. True friends will never fade away. Or will it? Friendships and their outcome get very subjective evaluations. Both Steinbeck and Tolkien’s books: “Of Mice and Men” and “The Fellowship of the Rings” deal with a consistent theme of friendship. Although each author has their own distinct way of communicating their ideas, these books show similar views on the strength, consequences and limitations of friendship.

Hermione and Harry help each other with their strengths and abilities. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Hermione always wanted to do everything by the rules. Sometime during the year, she realized that friendship can be more important. Hermione explains, “ ‘Please, Professor McGonagall –they were looking for me. I went looking for the troll because I –I thought I could deal with it on my own…’ ” (120). For the first time ever, Hermione has lied to a teacher. This begins the turning point where Hermione, Harry,

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.

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.

Once entering Hogwarts, the student will be sorted in one of the four houses called as follow: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. To decide what house the student belongs to, the professor uses the sorting hat to determine what house they belong to. The sorting hat is what the muggles don’t have and stated by the website Pottermore, “It literally contains the intelligence of the four founders, can speak (through a rip near its brim) and is skilled at Legimency, which enables it to look into the wearer’s head and divine his or her capabilities or mood.” (J.K. Rowling) what it means is the hat uses its power to uncover the person’s thoughts and see his/her talents and that is how Harry Potter got sorted into Gryffindor. In Hogwarts, the sport that is well known and is a wizard favorite is called “Quidditch” and it is played in the muggle world as well, but in the wizard world it is played with broomsticks. This sport is played rough since there are no rules in the wizard world and both teams want to win points for their houses. The game can be called automatically over if the seeker catches the golden snitch (a golden ball with wings) and it will be worth one hundred fifty points for their house which is important to them and as the school

In “Recitatif,” a short story by Toni Morrison, Twyla and Roberta have their ups and downs. First meeting in a shelter where they were both dropped off, the two develop a friendship. As they grow older, the two will occasionally run into each other, sometimes things would go well and other times they would not. And almost every time they do meet up, there is something mentioned about Maggie. No matter how upsetting the encounter was with Roberta, Twyla was always able to hold her ground. This goes to show that Twyla is independent, clever, and stubborn which made her a stronger person.

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

On Halloween of his fourth year, Harry's name emerges from the Goblet of Fire mking him the fourth participant in the Triwizard Tournament and very few people believe that he did not enter his name (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire pg 285). It is in this moment that Harry feels the most alone when his friends trun against him, most notably Ron, who does not believe that Harry did not enter and isolates himself from Harry. While Hermione believes Harry and begins helping him prepare for the tournament, this is the first time that Harry has had one of his best friends isolate themselves from him, and it forces Harry to try and face this challenge with less help. The very design of the tournament is meant to isolate Harry from those around him because he might get help preparing for the tasks but in the end he has to complete the tasks alone. While Ron does eventually realize that Harry was not lying and that he should not have left Harry, this does not mean that Harry will no longer have to face the tasks alone.

Throughout the world of Harry Potter, the power of maternal love has been portrayed as being vital and tremendous. From Harry Potter’s mother sacrificing herself for Harry’s life to Molly Weasley defending her daughter – Ginny Weasley’s life in the Hogwarts battle, the role of a mother has always been that of a guardian angel that is willing to sacrifice her life for her daughter or son. Without maternal love through infancy, one would lack a sense of attachment, face trouble establishing relationships and grasping the concept of affection during adolescence and adulthood. Most Harry Potter characters were blessed with a mother, yet the two grand protagonist and antagonist – Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort are two exceptions. Both of their mothers, Lily Potter and Merope Gaunt, passed away at their infancy, yet while Harry Potter became great and righteous, Lord Voldemort became the most notorious Dark wizard of all time – one whose heart lacked compassion, who reeks with hatred and consumed in rage. In this essay, we will compare and contrast the effect of the lack of maternal influence on both Voldemort and Harry Potter, and also the importance of maternal love on different characters in the wizardry world.

"POTTER!" I yelled from the bottom of my lungs. My face filled with fury as I dropped my robe quickly to hide my scarred leg from him. I thought Harry Potter was going to end up finding information he shouldn’t if he keeps being the noisy kid he is.

Home is where Hogwarts is. One of the main themes of Harry Potter is Home and we all know the saying that home is where the heart is, and Harry’s and everyone who read the book or saw the movie, their heart is at Hogwarts. Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, is a school located in highlands of Scotland. Nobody knows the precise location of the school because long time ago it was rendered unplottable. The humans see the school as a castle which was abandoned. Other schools like Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and the Durmstrang are also rendered unplottable. Children with magic abilities will get a letter by the School via an owl post when they’re eleven years old. And if a child is human, a professor of Hogwarts will come to inform the child's parents. Hogwarts moto is Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillanddus which means Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon.

In her novels Rowling always makes us sympathize with Harry. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry is the youngest contestant in the tournament. As opposed to the others he has little knowledge on how to perform most spells and relies solely on skill. His fear is therefore grounded. The movie does nothing but strengthen this idea. In the movie we actually get to see Harry’s expressions, for example, when his name is thrown out of the Goblet. Likewise, Dumbledore’s rage and shock as well as the students surprise and anger make us understand how dangerous the tournament is. Professor McGonagall’s genuine concern for Harry solidifies this fear. It is also very obvious in the movie that Harry is maturing. Not only does he look taller and bigger than in the previous movies; his actions are a lot wiser too. His modesty with
